Hello again! I hope y’all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. In case you’re wondering, my surprise destination for Valentine’s Day weekend was Half Moon Bay—a sleepy little beach town in the heart of artichoke country. We had a fantastic time! Can you say ‘private jacuzzi’? Anyway, would y’all like to know what I made for my sweetie on Valentine’s Day? Would you be surprised if I told you it was none of my own creations? Weird, I know. It’s just that I’ve been testing Valentine’s Day dessert for two recipes since December. We’ve been enjoying the mulled wine from Pears in Mulled Wine for so long that I’ve forgotten what real wine tastes like without spices. The excess cream cheese frosting from Red Velvet Whoopie Pies made its way onto muffins, bagels, fingers, spoons and more. And quite honestly, I’m out of butane from making Chocolate Creme Brulee over and over.
I took a little break from sugar, but my sweet tooth came back with a vengeance for cookies! Cookies are perfect—one sweet little bite of deliciousness. I’m off to Texas for a loooonnnng weekend and these little chocolate-dipped macaroons are packed in my bags, ready to eat on the flight!
These coconut macaroons are dipped in chocolate.Coconut Macaroons

Yum! These look so good and as complicated as I would have thought. Glad you had a nice Valentine's getaway. Hope your trip to TX is wonderful!

So does this mean you'll have one for me when I pick you up at 4AM for the airport? ;) Macaroons are my fave!

I am seriously coconut crazy, as is my mom... When you mentioned that you were eating them on the plane all I could think was, "of course, I will make these when I go visit my mom in April and take them on the plane!" (first I will get them safely thru security, then I must get them safely past my snacking...) Awesome and yummy recipe!!!
Chef Bee says
Wow! You could not have picked a better recipe for me. I love it all and they look beautiful. What a treat.

I love coconut macaroons, but I've never made them myself. Thanks for the awesome recipe, Christina! I hope you're having a fabulous time in our home state.
Allie says
Looks super tasty Christina! I'm sure your boyfriend was happy :) I wonder how these would taste with some lemon!? I hope you had a safe and great trip home!

Do you have to whip the egg white or just mix it in as is?
Christina says
Hi Jess,
Just mix it in as-is. Thanks :)
