Ingredients:

Macaroons

• 4 cups Loving Earth shredded coconut
• ½ cup aquafaba (brine from canned chickpeas)
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar (to help the aquafaba stiffen) - optional
• 6 tbsp Loving Earth coconut nectar (divided into 2.5 tbsp / 3.5 tbsp quantities)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Loving Earth Lucuma powder
• ¼ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
• 2 tbsp Loving Earth coconut oil, melted

Chocolate coating (optional)

• 1 bar of chopped Loving Earth 72% dark chocolate
• 1 tbsp Loving Earth coconut oil

Method:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 176°C and spread coconut on a baking sheet. Toast for 2-4 minutes or until just slightly golden brown (be careful not to burn). Reduce oven temperature to 162°C.

Step 2: In a food processor combine toasted coconut and add 2.5 tbsp coconut nectar. Pulse a few times to combine, being careful not to over mix. This will slightly moisten and sweeten the coconut. Set aside.

Step 3: To a large mixing bowl, add Aquafina and cream of tartar (optional), and whip with a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4: Once fluffy and semi-stiff peaks have formed, add remaining 3.5 tbsp coconut nectar, vanilla, lucuma, and salt and whip again to combine.

Step 5: Pour in melted coconut oil and whip again to combine. Add more sweetener to taste.

Step 6: Start with adding ¾ of your coconut to the Aquafina and fold/stir to combine. If it looks too wet, add more coconut a little at a time until you get a very moist “dough”.  If you add all of the coconut and it still appears too wet, add a little untoasted coconut.

Step 7: Measure out heaping 1 tbsp amounts and scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 162°C for 25 minutes. Then increase heat to 176°C and bake for 8-10 min more or until golden brown and semi-firm to the touch.

Step 8: Let cool

Step 9: Enjoy!

For a chocolate coating (optional)

Step 10: Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler (or in the microwave in 30 second increments) until smooth and creamy.

Step 11: Dip the macaroons into the chocolate and place on baking paper. Drizzle the tops with remaining chocolate and set in the refrigerator (or freezer) to cool until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
