  • Yield: 24 macaroons 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon ube extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Purple gel food coloring (optional)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, ube extract, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated. If desired, add a few drops of purple gel food coloring to achieve your desired color.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, if using.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
  6. Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a more intense ube flavor, you can add a bit more ube extract.
  • Be careful not to overbake, as macaroons can become dry.
  • These macaroons are best enjoyed within a week.
