Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup sweetened condensed coconut milk (sugar-free) or thick coconut cream + 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sugar-free condensed coconut mixture (or coconut cream with sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully coated and sticky.
Step 3: Shape the macaroons
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small mounds of the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press them together so they hold their shape.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops and edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Step 5: Cool and set
Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely. They will firm up as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture inside.
Step 6: Serve
Enjoy as-is or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
