Ingredients
Scale
2 ⅓ cups shredded sweetened coconut
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (for consistency)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until frothy. Add the salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and whip until you get stiff, glossy peaks.
Fold in the vanilla extract and the toasted coconut gently with a spatula.
Pipe the mixture onto your prepared baking sheets, aiming for roughly 1.5-inch circles.
Let them rest on the baking sheet for about 20-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes until just golden and set. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
While your macarons cool, make the filling by combining softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
Assemble the macarons by pairing them up and piping or spreading the creamy filling on the flat side of one macaron before pressing another macaron on top.
Chill the assembled macarons in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
