Coconut Macaroons

11/19

This week, I’ve partnered with Happy Eggs to try out their liquid egg whites! It can be such a pain to separate eggs without making a mess. I for one always get shell mixed up in there by accident, and once you have separated them to get your whites, you need to either make something with the yolks or they end up being wasted. Having the convenience of the egg whites already separated and ready to go seemed like a great idea and one I wanted to try out!

You may or may not know but I actually have a raw and semi-raw egg intolerance so sadly I couldn’t test out a delicious omelette or crunchy meringue BUT something I can have, and something I luckily find super tasty are Coconut Macaroons. These beauties use only the egg white and are baked enough for me to enjoy them so I thought what better way to test them out than with a batch of these delicious morsels.

The pack informed me that one tablespoon was the equivalent to one egg white so weighing them out was a breeze! The egg whites themselves have so many health benefits including being fat and cholesterol free, low carb, low calorie and high in protein! I mean, we’re going to be adding sugar and chocolate and some other less than healthy ingredients to these but it’s great to know it’s got a healthy base!

So, let’s get baking!

Ingredients –

  • 4 egg whites
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 300g desiccated coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla

To decorate (optional) –

  • 250g melted milk chocolate

Method –

  1. Whisk the egg whites, caster sugar and vanilla until the mixture has gone white and doubled in size.
  2. Carefully fold in the desiccated coconut.
  3. Spoon the mixture into balls (I used an ice cream scoop) and place on a lined baking tray.
  4. Bake at 170C (fan assisted) for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  5. Once cooled, dip the bottom in melted chocolate and drizzle with more chocolate! (optional).

That’s it! They are so simple to make and with the added benefit and convenience of the pre-separated liquid egg whites from Happy Eggs, you can go from wanting something sweet to eating a delicious coconut macaroon in little under an hour start to finish!
