Cherry-Lime Macaroons

Scott Phillips

Servings:Makes about 20 macaroons

Lime and coconut are a natural pair, and cherry adds a rich, jammy element.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (from a 12-oz. can; there will be a little left over)
  • 2 oz. (1/2 cup) dried cherries
  • 1 Tbs. kirsch
  • 2 tsp. finely grated lime zest
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 14 oz. (4-1/2 cups) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
  • Put the condensed milk, 1 oz. (1/4 cup) of the cherries, kirsch, lime zest, and vanilla in a blender, and blend on high until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Chop the remaining 1 oz. of the cherries. Add to the condensed milk mixture along with the coconut, and stir with a large silicone spatula until thoroughly mixed.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Using the spatula, fold the whites into the coconut mixture. Push the mixture together into a mound.
  • With wet hands or two wet spoons, gently form rounded tablespoonfuls of batter into balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating and swapping the positions of the pans halfway through, until the macaroons are golden brown in spots and their undersides are tanned, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool briefly on the baking sheets on racks, then transfer the macaroons directly to the racks to cool completely.

Make Ahead Tips

The macaroons will keep, uncovered at room temperature, for up to 3 days, or refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 6 months.

    This is favorite among family and friends. The subtle cherry and lime flavors make this macaroon just a bit different than the traditional. Easy to make
