Description
Coconut Macaroon & Mango Ice Cream Sandwiches are a tropical frozen treat featuring chewy, golden coconut macaroons and creamy mango ice cream—perfect for summer or anytime you crave something fruity and indulgent.
Ingredients
- 5 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 quarts mango ice cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix sweetened shredded coconut with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly to form sandwich-sized rounds.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, pair cookies by size. Soften mango ice cream slightly, then scoop and spread onto one macaroon.
- Top with the second macaroon and press gently to form a sandwich.
- Place sandwiches on a tray and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Let ice cream soften for 10–15 minutes before assembling.
- Handle macaroons gently to avoid crumbling.
- Add lime zest or chopped dried mango for extra flavor in the macaroons.
- Dip in chocolate for a decorative and delicious twist.
- Wrap individually to prevent freezer burn.
