Air Fryer Coconut Macaroons.

Air Fryer Coconut Macaroons. 

Nut-free, sugary, and precisely what you would anticipate from a coconut macaroon! The texture is chewy and slightly sticky on the inside, with a crispy exterior. A pleasant bitterness from the chocolate balances out the sweetness. These are very simple to make, make excellent gifts, and freeze well!

Components

  1. One package (14 ounces) of sweetened flaked coconut
  2. ⅔ cup condensed milk with added sugar
  3. 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  4. One-half teaspoon of vanilla extract
  5. Two big, room-temperature egg whites
  6. Eight ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate

Guidelines

  • For ten minutes, preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). To fit the air fryer basket, cut a piece of parchment paper, leaving 1 inch on each side for handles.
  • In a big bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites in a medium-sized bowl on medium-high speed for approximately 90 seconds, or until stiff peaks almost form. Add the egg whites to the coconut mixture and stir.
  • Spoon level tablespoons of the coconut mixture into rounds, about six at a time, and set them on the parchment paper while working in batches. Gently place the parchment paper with the coconut rounds inside the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Using the same piece of parchment paper, remove the parchment from the basket, place the macaroons to a wire rack, and repeat the process with the remaining coconut mixture.
  • In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate for 30 seconds on high power. Stir. Once melted and smooth, continue microwaving and stirring in 30-second intervals for roughly 90 seconds.
  • Monetize the bottoms of the macaroons and then place them on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper to set. Allow chocolate to set, which should take around half an hour.

Notes from the Cook:

  • You can add wonderful festive sprinkles or Rice Krispies(R) to them to give them a little more heft.
  • For a unique twist, you might coat the chocolate in chopped pecans or another type of nut.
