3- Ingredient Coconut Macaroons

If you love easy and delicious recipes, you will want to check out these delicious Southern Pecan Pralines. They are a classic for a reason and go great with these coconut macaroons. Only a few ingredients and easy to make.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This recipe is only three ingredients and takes about 15 minutes to put together, so that is a huge plus. These macaroons are delicious and only take about 10-12 minutes to bake, so you have a great little treat in around 30 minutes. Easy recipes are always a plus and not everything in the kitchen should take a long time or be hard.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Sweetened Shredded Coconut
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Toppings (optional)

SWAPS

The one thing you could swap out in this recipe is different extracts. I think almonds go great with coconuts, so that would be a great swap. You can also add what you like on the top, one addition could be chocolate chips if you want some chocolate with the coconut.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

These could be more simple to make, but they are a little messy!

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Combine coconut flakes, vanilla extract and condensed milk in a large bowl.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Use either an ice cream scoop or your hands to roll into a walnut size (walnut out of the shell) ball and pat down a little and place on lined baking sheet. Place a pecan or half a cherry on the top or whatever you wish to use as a topping.

Step 3
Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are browned.  Remove from baking sheet immediately when you take them out of the oven and let cool.  Makes about 2 1/2 dozen macaroons.

⭐TIP

If you are rolling these out with your hands, I always spray a little cooking spray on my hands to keep them from sticking as badly. We also think these are wonderful cold, so once they cool, we pop them in the fridge, which helps them to cool down and they seem to hold the ball shape well too.

SERVE THIS WITH

These little treats go great with just about any other snack, but if you are making them for an event like a baby shower, wedding shower or the holidays you may want to add:
