Chef Alain’s Weekly Recipe
Macarons Meringues à la Noix de Coco. Coconut Macaroon Meringues
These wonderfully chewy coconut macaroons taste ever better when dipped in melted chocolate.
Yield: About 2 dozen 1 oz cookies
Oven Temp: 300F
This recipe is: GFCF
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch Sea salt
½ tsp Cream of tartar
4 oz Granulated sugar
8 oz Shredded coconut
4 oz Powdered sugar
PROCEDURE
1. Preheat your oven to 300F.
2. Weigh the egg whites with the cream of tartar and salt in your mixer’s bowl. Start whipping at medium speed with the whisk attachment until half-whipped.
3. When the meringue slides off the edge of the bowl, increase speed to high and add the sugar in a rainfall manner until it is all absorbed. Whip to firm peaks (when you take a little bit of meringue off the bowl, it stands up).
3. Stop the mixer. Take the whisk away. Weigh the coconut and powdered sugar in a separate bowl, then fold in with a rubber spatula.
4. Drop 1 oz cookies with a teaspoon onto pans lined with baking paper.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes at 300F. When you squeeze one with your fingers, it should still be moist at the center. Let cool.
6. Melt 70% dark chocolate on top of a water bath (bain marie) and dip halfway. Place on a sheet pan covered with wax paper. Refrigerate. Eat whenever you need a GFCF treat.
