You only have to prepare the following essential ingredients, including a half cup of granulated sugar, three tablespoon of cocoa powder and cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon of salt, three egg yolks, heavy cream, whole milk, unsalted butter, vanilla, and chopped pieces of chocolate of your choice.

To prepare, you need to whisk together all the ingredients (except butter, chocolate, and vanilla) in the saucepan and put it on medium heat while constantly stirring for six minutes until the mixture thickens. When the mixture thickens, add the butter, chocolate, and vanilla, and whisk them well until they are thoroughly mixed. This dessert is best to serve chilled or cold.

Coconut macaroons are sweet little balls of chewy happiness. When you get a taste of one, you can never get enough of its delicious flavor and texture.

It is also doable to prepare at home. There are many different recipes, but the bottom line is that it only needs egg whites, sugar, salt, honey, vanilla extract, unsweetened shredded coconut, and all-purpose flour to make.
