You will need to drain the coconut, then open it. We smashed it on the floor outside and it cracked open in half. Then I cut coconut flesh out of the coconut shell. I used a small knife and cut out small sections.
Use a grater and grate 500g of fresh coconut.
Add the sugar, flour, egg white and vanilla paste and mix. If the mixture seems a bit dry add a splash of milk.
Pop the mixture into a mini muffin tray or on a lined tray (the mixture should make 12 small macaroons). Bake for 10 -12 minutes on 180°.
Let the macaroons cool.
Once cool you can melt a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. I just popped chocolate in microwave for 60 seconds, mixing every 10 seconds.
Dip the macaroons in the chocolate. Place them on a piece of greaseproof paper and drizzle any remaining chocolate on top.
Pop in the fridge for 15 - 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
