Easy and delicious, these Red Velvet Coconut Macaroons are a beautiful treat just in time for Valentine's Day!

I’ve got a great last minute dessert recipe today that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! I took my favorite coconut macaroon recipe and turned it into Red Velvet Coconut Macaroons!

I have to admit red velvet isn’t my go-to flavor when I’m ordering dessert but every time I have it, I think to myself – why don’t I have this more often? It’s really delicious and so fun for Valentine’s Day and Christmas.

Easy and delicious, these Red Velvet Coconut Macaroons are a beautiful treat just in time for Valentine's Day!

You’ll notice that I added a fun little drizzle and lots of sprinkles to spruce up the macaroons. That’s not totally necessary but it sure is pretty! The macaroons dry out a little bit on the exterior so the color isn’t as vibrant as it is on the inside. I thought this was an easy and delicious way to remedy that effect.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp water
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
  • 2 egg whites room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz vanilla candy coating or white chocolate
  • colored sprinkles pearls, or jimmies

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine water, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium-sized, heat-proof bowl, combine shredded coconut and hot syrup, stirring until evenly distributed. Let mixture cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Once cooled, stir in the cake mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites and vanilla extract together until foamy and thick. Gently fold in the coconut mixture.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out mounds of the coconut mixture. Make sure to really pack the coconut in tightly. You want golf-ball sized mounds. Space the macaroons 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the baking sheet if necessary. Place baking sheets on racks and let cool completely.
  • Melt candy coating according to package directions and drizzle on top of the cooled macaroons. Sprinkle with pearls or jimmies. Let set up before storing in an airtight container.
