Gluten Free Chocolate Coconut Macaroons. Amazing. Best Ever. Fantastic. I can’t say enough.
If there was ever a recipe that I want everyone to try, because it’s insanely easy and incredibly delicious, it’s THESE best ever gluten free chocolate coconut macaroons.
And the best part? They are dipped in chocolate . . .
AND these babies only require 5 ingredients. 5 ingredients! No egg whites, no vanilla. . only 4 ingredients if you only use one kind of chocolate.
You simply start with sweetened shredded coconut and mix it with sweetened condensed milk. Then, you add some almond slices and – I used my cookie scoop– scoop out tablespoon sized coconut balls and place onto a prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
While your coconut macaroons are cooling, cut up your chocolate (I used a mix of semi-sweet and bittersweet) and melt it.
When the coconut macaroons are ready and have cooled a bit, simply dip them into the chocolate and let cool on parchment paper (I used my Roul’Pat non-stick countertop workstation mat). You can also pop the gluten free chocolate coconut macaroons into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help the chocolate set faster.
Enjoy these gluten free chocolate coconut macaroons!!
Best Ever Coconut Macaroons
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup almond slices
- 3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate; chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or your silicone non-stick baking mat. In a large bowl, combine the coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk and the almonds.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place tablespoon sized macaroons on your baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the macaroons are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
- While the macaroons are cooling, using a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chopped chocolate in :30 intervals until softened and melted. Whisk together until smooth. Dip in the coconut macaroons and set on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set. You can also place the chocolate dipped macaroons in your refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes if desired. Enjoy!

April 27, 2014 at 6:08 amThose looks INCREDIBLE and so simple. Can the nuts be omitted? Would it still produce the same results or is it a necessary ingredient? Thank you for hosting #SundaySupper this week!

hipfoodiemom says
April 29, 2014 at 6:16 amThanks so much lady! and re: hosting, I figured I hosted once this year. . so that should give me at least another 6 month window before I do it again, right?! Just kidding. . it was a lot of work but not as bad as I thought!
Soni says
April 28, 2014 at 1:06 pmBrilliant recipe!!I love sweetened coconut and the chocolate coating just takes it to a new level 🙂 Thanks for hosting this exciting event Alice!
hipfoodiemom says

Katie says
April 28, 2014 at 2:01 pmGolden beauties! I ADORE coconut macaroons, and they are even better when dipped in chocolate! I would have a hard time not eating the entire batch…
hipfoodiemom says
April 29, 2014 at 6:14 amThank you, Katie! This is why, after I ate 3 or 4, I had to give the rest away! 😛
Sarah says
April 28, 2014 at 6:37 pmIf I wasn’t so allergic to coconut I’d be scarfing these!
hipfoodiemom says
April 29, 2014 at 6:13 amoh no!
Jamie@ Milk 'n' Cookies says
April 28, 2014 at 8:00 pmI absolutely love macaroons — they’re probably my all-time favorite cookie. I’ve never made them using sweetened condensed milk, though. And I’m sure those little almond slices must add some great texture. Will definitely have to try this recipe!
hipfoodiemom says
April 29, 2014 at 6:13 amHi Jamie! yes, I hope you do and yes the almonds are a great addition and add some texture!
Alice says
April 28, 2014 at 11:24 pmThese macaroons look delicious. Even more incredible, you’ve made these using 4 ingredients only. Makes it a far easier & delicious recipe than many out there for sure!
I’m also a choc coconut fiend 🙂
hipfoodiemom says
April 29, 2014 at 6:11 amThank you so much, Alice!! And these are great for my friends who are allergic to eggs!
Tammi @ Momma's Meals says
April 29, 2014 at 5:45 amWow you make it seem so easy!! I love these little pieces of sweetness! Great job hosting this week!!!
Allie | Baking a Moment says
April 29, 2014 at 7:31 amMr. Allie is a huge fan of coconut macaroons- pinning these for him! I love that you added almonds 😉
hipfoodiemom says

Miss Kim @ behgopa says

Indre @ cupcakesnmiracles says
April 30, 2014 at 1:54 amI made these with 2 ingredients (coconuts and condensed milk) and they are amazing! Going to post them soon 🙂
Courtney @ Neighborfood says
April 30, 2014 at 9:06 amNo way! I had no idea you could make macaroons with sweetened condensed milk. I can’t wait to try this!
Shaina says
April 30, 2014 at 3:30 pmI just made macaroons for Passover, but didn’t use sweetened condensed milk. It must add such an amazing thick/creaminess to the cookies…I will have to try that next time!
Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen says
April 30, 2014 at 4:49 pmThese look amazing! I wish I had a plateful right now. They could be my dinner, you wouldn’t tell would you? Hehe Thanks so much for hosting this weeks Sunday Supper!
Dionne Baldwin says
April 30, 2014 at 8:06 pmYour macaroons are so beautiful! The recipe looks like something I should be able to make but I wonder why I’ve never made them before? Perhaps because deep down inside I know that I would eat most of them… 🙂
Connie | URBAN BAKES says
