Vickys Coconut Macaroons, Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free
- 240 ml full fat coconut milk
- 80 ml agave nectar or maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or powder
- 40 grams (1/4 cup) potato starch - NOT flour
- 225 grams (3 cups) desiccated / finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 120 grams chocolate chips, I use Moo Free brand
- Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and liberally grease a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- This is important as the macaroons will stick if you don't grease the paper
- In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut milk, honey and vanilla
- Add the potato starch a little at a time, beating to combine, then stir in the coconut
- Measure out a level tablespoon of the mixture.
- Using your fingers, mould the spoonful into a cone-like mound while still on the spoon, then slide off onto the baking sheet spacing them at least half an inch apart.
- Repeat until the baking sheet is full
- Bake until firm and lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
- Peel the macaroons from the baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.
- Continue to bake the rest of the macaroons in batches until the mixture is used up
- Melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the water isn't touching the bottom of the bowl
- Spoon some chocolate over the top of each macaroon.
- You can completely coat them if you prefer but I like to do a splodge on top so your fingers don't get all chocolate-y eating them
- Refrigerate until set and store in a lidded container in the fridge until eaten
