Coconut Pineapple Macaroons
Kroger Candied Fruit
This recipe comes from a label on a package of Kroger store brand candied pineapple chunks. The nice thing about this recipe is candied pineapple is available in Thailand, I have found them on Lazada.

Baking Sheet
- ½ cup candied pineapple chunks, diced
- 1 package sweetened flaked coconut, (14 oz / 396 g)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, (14 oz / 396 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites, use extra large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
Preheat your oven to 160° C (325° F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add the coconut, milk, and vanilla. Mix together until combined.
In a medium size mixing bowl that is chilled, add the egg whites and salt, use an electric mixer on high speed and beat until medium peaks form.
Gently fold whipped whites into the coconut mixture.
Drop by spoonful's onto the parchment, about 12-15. Use the back of a spoon and make a shallow depression in the center of each.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown and some of the coconut is browned. Let cool completely.
Melt the chocolate according to package directions. Fill each cookie depression with diced candied pineapple and drizzle the chocolate across the top of each cookie.
Serve and enjoy.
