Dark Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

For many of us, coconut is the dividing line, you either love it or hate it.. I, Alex, seem to live in a divided house as well. My husband can’t stand the look of it and of course, I’m coconut’s biggest fan!

My favorite desserts include a coconut cake, a dollop of coconut whipped cream and these simple dark chocolate coconut macaroons.

Since they are raw, these macaroons are softer and chewier than the traditional baked version. Dipped and swirled with dark chocolate, they are the perfect 2 bite dessert, especially in this season of over-indulgence.
