What ingredients you need to make Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons:
- Finely shredded unsweetened coconut – you want it to be shredded almost like a rice consistency
- Coconut sugar – this is the best sugar option here or you can use a mix of cane sugar and brown sugar
- Tapioca flour – you could use an arrowroot flour as well
- Full-fat coconut milk – milk should be shaken up so it has some of the creaminess
- Dark chocolate – any good quality chocolate that melts well for dipping
How to make easy Coconut Macaroons:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, mix the coconut, coconut sugar and tapioca flour
- Mix in the milk and stir to combine
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie batter with a scooper and add to the baking sheet (press the mixture down firmly to really pack it in the scooper)
- Repeat for rest of the cookies then bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden
- Allow the macaroons to cool for a few then dip the bottom of each in chocolate and add to the baking sheet (I like to place them upside down so the chocolate hardens well!)
- Add to the fridge to harden for about 20 minutes then enjoy!
FAQs on making Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons:
- Are these cookies Kosher for Passover? Yes they are definitely kosher-friendly for Passover – just look for kosher mark on the ingredients you use if needed.
- Do you have to dip these cookies in chocolate? Not if you don’t want to. But you can leave them as is after they bake if you prefer! I love eating the chocolate and coconut combo so I always do, but totally up to you.

Looks so simple and yummy. I accidentally got coconut cream instead of milk, would that work instead?
