Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand blender
  • baking sheets (2)

Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.4 ounces) ube flavored condensed milk
  • 1 bag (14 ounces) sweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • ½ pound white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the condensed milk, coconut, vanilla, and salt.
    1 can (13.4 ounces) ube flavored condensed milk, 1 bag (14 ounces) sweetened, shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 pinch salt
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a small bowl using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites to the stiff peak stage. Then, as gently as possible, fold them into the coconut mixture.
    2 egg whites
  • Using a medium size cookie scoop or two teaspoons, scoop out mixture onto baking sheets lined with silicone mat or parchment paper, spacing each scoop 1 to 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the macaroons are dry, rotating the pans about halfway through.
  • Let cool on the pans and then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
  • Melt or temper the white chocolate, depending on your preference (see FAQs). Dip the bottoms of the macaroons about ¼" into the chocolate and then invert on the cooling racks with a piece of parchment, wax paper, or paper towel below to catch any drips.
  • If not tempered, the macaroons should be stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
    ½ pound white chocolate

Notes

For macaroons you don't need to have whipped the egg whites so stiff that you can turn the bowl upside down over your head. When when you pick up the beater and turn it upside down, the peak of the egg whites should stay firm or bend down only a little.
