These 3-Ingredient Coconut Macaroons are the perfect easy dessert when you want something sweet without spending hours in the kitchen. With just three simple ingredients, you can make golden, chewy coconut treats that are perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
Mix until everything is evenly coated and the mixture holds together.
Scoop the mixture into small portions and shape into compact balls or mounds.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Allow the macaroons to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
For the best texture, make sure the coconut mixture is moist enough to hold its shape but not overly wet. Keep an eye on the macaroons during the final minutes of baking because the coconut can brown quickly.
These little treats are delicious alongside coffee or tea and are also perfect for parties, book clubs, and family gatherings.
Storage
Store completely cooled macaroons in an airtight container. They can also be refrigerated for a firmer texture or frozen for longer storage.
Conclusion
With only 3 ingredients and a few simple steps, these coconut macaroons are an easy homemade treat that looks impressive and tastes even better. Make a batch whenever you need a quick dessert that everyone will love.
