Indulge in the delicate allure of Pistachio Coconut Macaroons, a sophisticated treat that marries the rich, nutty essence of pistachios with the tropical sweetness of coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pistachios, shelled and coarsely chopped
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup egg whites (about 3 large)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly coated.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, form small mounds of the mixture, placing them about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are slightly toasted.

- Once cooled, melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over the macaroons.
Notes
Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid refrigerating as it may alter their chewiness.
