Ingredients

• 4 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Egg whites
• 8 ounces White chocolate (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Step 3

In a separate clean bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whisk the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the macaroons are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If desired, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 9

Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the melted white chocolate, then set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
