Last week, I published a dairy free Keto Coconut Cake video which has been well received so I thought why not make this week a highlight using coconut. So, here's a Keto Coconut Macaroon recipe and if you're a fan of coconut, you will be in for a guilt free treat. There are only 3 ingredients in this super simple and quick recipe. I made 2 versions i.e., dairy free and dairy & egg free so that everyone can enjoy it.

Macaroon is a small cake or cookie, typically made from coconut or ground almonds. Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal and macaroons is shredded coconut typically held together with egg whites and sugar. Macaroons have a craggy surface and chewy interior and are sometimes, dipped in chocolate.

The dairy free version using egg whites looks more golden brown after baking. It has a crispy texture on the outside and chewy inside. The dairy and egg free version tends to be soft and chewy but tastes just as good. As an option, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over these macaroons for that elevated taste.

Watch out for another delicious coconut recipe later this week !

3 egg whites medium-sized, at room temperature
2 cups of shredded coconut
1/3 cup Sweetener
Instructions
Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a big baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate egg whites from egg yolks and put all the whites into a large bowl.
Whip the egg whites with a hand mixer until they have stiff peaks. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
Carefully fold in the shredded coconut and sweetener to the egg whites being careful not to over mix too much.
Take a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon and with that, scoop out small portions of the cookies, shaping them into balls as you go. Place them on your baking tray with about 1/2 inch in between each macaroon, they won't rise much so don't worry about leaving big gaps. This recipe should make about 20 cookies.
Bake for 17-20 minutes until they are golden and crispy. You can add more sweetener because they aren’t very sweet. Also, you can drizzle chocolate over them after baking them. 😉
