EQUIPMENT:

  • Measuring spoons & cups
  • Mixing bowl

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups coconut (shredded & unsweetened)
  • ⅓ cup granulated zero-calorie sweetener
  • 2 large egg whites
  • Half tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

INGREDIENT NOTES:

UNSWEETENED SHREDDED COCONUT:

  • This is the core ingredient for this dessert recipe. This unsweetened shredded coconut provides us with a sweet taste. Another option can be coconut flakes (chopped).

EGG WHITES:

  • Using egg whites will keep the caloric content lower. Egg whites will also combine with the coconut shreds easily. If you need an alternative, use ¼ cup of aquafaba.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • This is useful in providing a sweet taste in the snack. It also does not include any points to the WW plan. If you utilize coconut sugar for this recipe as an alternative, it will raise the WW points.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • When we add vanilla extract to the dessert, it provides a good scent and improves the taste. Using coconut extract is also an option.

SALT:

  • Salt maintains & removes extra sweetness in the coconut macaroons. You can exclude this ingredient if you like.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Your oven needs to be preheated to 165°C.
  2. Cover the sheet with the use of parchment.
  3. Then mix salt, sweetener, & shredded coconut inside a bowl.
  4. Include vanilla extract and egg whites as well.
  5. You need to completely mix the mixture.
  6. After the mixture starts to feel sticky, take some of the mix in a cookie scoop.
  7. Create mounds from it and place them over the sheet.
  8. The baking requirement for the macaroons is 16 minutes.
  9. Cool them down properly after baking and then enjoy your tasty macaroons.

TIPS:

  • Bake them for the time that it requires. They will become a bit solid when you cool them.
  • Rather than a spoon, a cookie scoop works better.
  • You can consider toasting the coconut shreds as well.
  • Cool down the macaroons first, and then take them off the sheet.
  • You need to keep them in a decent condition and place so that they maintain their texture.

  • You can pair the coconut macaroons with some coffee or tea.
  • Use chocolate syrup (sugar-free) to top the coconut macaroons with.
  • Place some berries along with the coconut macaroons for a good presentation.
