​Coconut and Raspberry Macaroons with a Dark Chocolate Drizzle


Picture
Its officially summertime so what better time to rustle up some delicious and healthy macaroons! These are the perfect bite size macaroons to serve as part of a dessert at a barbeque or just to have in the house just in case those 3pm hunger pangs kick and you need something sweet but healthy. I can just imagine serving one of these crumbled over some Greek yoghurt and fruit or with ice-cream as a real refreshing and cooling summer dessert.
​This recipe uses only 7 ingredients and is very simple to make. It's pretty much one of those lets throw it all in a bowl and mix kind of recipes.

Recipe

Makes 12

1 Cup Desiccated Coconut
1 Cup Ground Almonds
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Coconut Sugar
​1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Essence
​1/2 Cup Fresh Raspberries
1/2 Bar 75%+ Dark Chocolate

Method

Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees C.
​In a bowl mix the eggs until they become stiff. I used a hand-held mixer and it took around 10 minutes for them to become stiff.
​Once the eggs are stiff fold in the vanilla followed by each dry ingredient one at a time (not the chocolate).
​The mixture should now be like a dough consistency.
​Place small spoonful's of the mix onto a baking tray (I used a tablespoon) and pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Once baked leave to cool for 30 minutes.
​Once the macaroons are cool break the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl and microwave until melted. It took me 30 seconds.
​Drizzle the chocolate over the macaroons and leave to set for 3-4 hours on the side or 20-30 minutes in the fridge.

​Aaaaand...EAT!

Enjoy!
