How to make a delicious and chewy Coconut Macaroons .
Filipino Coconut Macaroons Recipe – A popular Filipino pasalubong treat, a sweet and chewy mini coconut muffins. This is the original Coconut Macaroons recipe, it is made of sweet desiccated coconut, condensed milk, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla extract. These tiny coconut macaroons are tasty and often serve as snacks serve along with coffee, tea or cold drinks.
Makes 4 dozens
Coconut Macaroons Ingredients:
- 2 eggs @ room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 can (300ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups sweet desiccated coconut
- 50pcs (1 oz.) cupcake liners
Cooking Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 350F and lined mini muffin pans with 1oz. cupcake liners. Whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the sugar and melted butter, then whisk until sugar is completely dissolved. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, then whisk until well blended. I put 2 tablespoons of water in the milk can to get the remaining milk at the bottom, I don’t want to waste it and then I add to the mixture but this is optional. Mix well until smooth and the water is well blended.
- Add the sifted all-purpose flour and baking powder and mix well. Lastly, fold in desiccated coconut and let it soak for 5 minutes, just to soften the coconut. Scoop mixture into cupcake liners about 2/3’s full. Continue filling each liner until you’re completely done, it yields 4 to 4½ dozens.
- Bake macaroons for at least 10-15 minutes or until lightly brown on the top. I use the middle rack, to avoid macaroons from burning the top part. Fire off, and transfer in a cooling rack to cool completely before packing and storing.

janine
but the recipe of kawaling pinoy for this requires 3/4C of sugar.
pingskie
Yep, I prefer less sugar since i’m using sweetened desiccated coconut and the milk is already sweet, but if you love super sweet you can put as much sugar as you want.

Hiii! Uhm i was searching for macaroons recipes for a while now. Why does some require flour and some don’t? I was wondering what the difference would be?
Charina Villanueva
Hi Ping! I tried your recipe today and my kids loved it! On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest), they rated it 8 and 9. It’s moist, chewy and has the right sweetness. Thanks for sharing!

How long can the coconut macaroons keep?
Asley
Thanks for this recipe. It tastes really good. I just have one problem, my macaroons (the one with flour and baking powder) are flat. Where did I go wrong? 🙁
pingskie
Hi Ash, sorry about that but I think you didn’t pre-heat your oven well or it could be your baking powder is nearly expired? Most coconut macaroon recipes doesn’t rise as much as muffins and cupcakes 🙂 I hope the next time you bake them, it’ll turn out exactly what you want. Thanks for sharing and visiting, highly appreciated. Have a nice day Ash 🙂

Hi Ping, i bought dessicated coconut in a baking store here in our place but its not fine in texture, some are rough and large in texture. When i use the fine ones, they are soft and moist and when i used the rough and larger ones they have the perfect looks but not as smooth as the other one
