Lime Infused Coconut Macaroons

Happy almost Wednesday!  How does that sound?  Just a tad bit closer to FRIDAY!

Today, is my hubby's birthday...and you know that you are busy and life is full of changes when the birthday boy's birthday dinner is scheduled a few days out...so that the whole family can have dinner together!  Another perfect excuse for the "birthday week".

Happy Spring to each of YOU!


Lime Infused Coconut Macaroons
Adapted from my friend Maria


Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1/8 tsp. sea salt

1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

2 Tbsp. freshly grated lime zest

1 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tsp. coconut extract

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2  14 oz. packages of shredded, sweetened coconut

1 cup melted semisweet chocolate chips or white chocolate {with desired coloring added}

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*.

Line perforated baking sheet with SILPAT.

In a medium bowl, combine egg whites and salt and whisk for 2 minutes.

Add milk, zest, lime juice and extracts and combine.

Fold in coconut.

Using an ice cream scoop, make mounds that are about 2.5 inches and place about 1 inch apart on SILPAT.

Bake 20 minutes or until macaroons are golden brown.

Cool completely on a cooling rack.

When macaroons are cool, dip bottoms of macaroons in melted chocolate.  {I dipped some on the bottom and others on top.}

Place on ROULPAT or on parchment paper to set. Drizzle tops with the rest of your melted chocolate or pastel-colored chocolate.

ENJOY!
