Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 oz good quality dark chocolate (60-70%) (by weight)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 egg whites

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF.
  • Melt chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl on 50% power for 2 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes, then stir to finish melting. Return to microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds if needed.  (Alternatively, melt chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.)
  • Stir in remaining ingredients, using your hands if needed.  Mound onto parchment-lined cookie sheets by heaping tablespoonfuls.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, until just set (a few cracks, slightly matte in appearance but still very soft).  Let cool completely on pan before trying to move - they will firm up as they sit.
