These super chocolatey and fudgy vegan chocolate coconut macaroons are easy to make with pantry ingredients.
A cross between a coconut macaroon and a brownie, these fudgy vegan chocolate coconut macaroons are easy to make and dangerously good. One bowl, one spoon and a handful of pantry ingredients are all you need to whip up a batch.
Chocolate and coconut together are a winning combination in my book, and clearly one of my favorites considering the number of times the delicious duo have made an appearance on the blog. (For example there’s this tart and these haystacks, along with these macaroon cups and these clusters just to name a few.) So it should come as no surprise that I’m offering you yet again another variation on an old favorite, this time in cookie form.
These rich and chewy macaroons are packed to the brim with both chocolate and coconut; so much so that there’s not even any flour or eggs in them at all! They’re fudgy and meltingly tender on the inside, with pockets of chocolate strewn throughout and a thin yet crisp shell encasing them.
They’re such an easy cookie to make as well, and chances are you already have everything you need in your pantry. The batter starts by melting together some chopped chocolate, coconut milk, coconut sugar and vanilla until smooth. Shredded coconut and more chocolate into the form of cocoa powder and chocolate chips get mixed in to form a loose batter that’s then scooped onto a cookie sheet and popped into the oven. What emerges are little mounds of chewy chocolate goodness. (Make sure not to overbake them, they will firm as they cool.)
Dense and fudgy like a good brownie with lots of chewy texture from the coconut, these vegan chocolate coconut macaroons are great for Passover, Easter or frankly just because.
