Air Fryer Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 10 minutes.

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a piece of parchment paper and cut it to fit your air fryer basket, making sure to leave a 1-inch overhang on each side.

3. Step 3

   This will create handy handles for easy removal later.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened flaked coconut, sweetened condensed milk, kosher salt, and a splash of vanilla extract.

5. Step 5

   Stir everything together until the mixture is well blended and the coconut is evenly coated.

6. Step 6

   In a separate medium bowl, grab your electric mixer and whisk the egg whites on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, which should take around 90 seconds.

7. Step 7

   Now, gently fold the fluffy egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful to keep that airy texture intact.

8. Step 8

   Using a spoon, scoop out level tablespoons of the coconut blend and place them on the prepared parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space between each mound.

9. Step 9

   You should be able to fit around six macaroons in the air fryer at once.

10. Step 10

    Carefully lift the parchment paper with the coconut rounds and place it in the air fryer basket.

11. Step 11

    Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the macaroons turn a lovely golden brown and feel set to the touch.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, take the parchment paper out of the air fryer and transfer the macaroons to a wire rack to cool.

13. Step 13

    Don’t worry if you have more coconut mixture; just repeat the process with the remaining batter using the same parchment paper.

14. Step 14

    Now, let’s make that delicious chocolate dip! Place your chopped bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high for 30 seconds.

15. Step 15

    Give it a good stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth—this should take about 90 seconds total.

16. Step 16

    Once your macaroons are cool, dip the flat bottoms into the melted chocolate and set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

17. Step 17

    Allow the chocolate to firm up for about 30 minutes before indulging in your delightful treats.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy every bite of your homemade macaroons!.
