Chocolate Dipped Eggless Coconut Macaroon

My 245th recipe, "Chocolate Dipped Eggless Coconut Macaroon", a super easy dish for the holidays. While growing up coconut macaroons never symbolized holidays for me. More than that it was an anytime favorite for me. Back then I knew it as Thengai Biscuit and it was slightly different in texture and taste than a regular coconut macaroon. I generally am not a big fan of coconut in dishes, however that thengai biscuit is the one time when I really enjoyed it.

I can still remember the small bakery which was opposite my grandparents house. Whenever I used to visit them, I would be immediately attracted towards the smell of freshly baked thengai biscuit which wafted across. My dad or my grandma would immediately get me few of those. I loved it so much that I still cant forget those memories.

Once I started blogging I came to learn that coconut macaroons are basically made using condensed milk, coconut flakes and egg whites. Since I do not use eggs while I cook at home, I conveniently decided to leave it out and try with the remaining ingredients. I was not at all disappointed. The end result was an eggless coconut macaroon which was perfectly sweet and textured.

It was crisp on the top and the edges and chewy to bite into. Just how I remember eating one. Since it just requires a couple of ingredients and doesn't need a very long time to make a huge batch, this eggless coconut macaroon is the best last minute gifting idea for the holidays. The chocolate dip adds the right amount of decadence needed as well 🙂
