Chocolate Hazelnut Macaroons with Chocolate Fudge Sauce

You will notice that these macaroons are not overly sweet, but rather a great sweet treat. I prefer to make my own chocolate sauce so that I know how much sweetener it contains. Enjoy these little chocolate hazelnut bites!

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly mix together all macaroon ingredients.
Using a cookie scoop (1 1/2 tbsp size), scoop and drag the cookie scoop against the side of the bowl to firmly pack macaroon batter.
Drop macaroons onto baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Cool macaroons completely.
While macaroons are cooling, melt together all chocolate fudge sauce ingredients. Stir and remove from heat.
Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the tops of macaroons. Add a spoonful of chocolate fudge sauce to the macaroons.
Chill for 10-15 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Macaroons work best with a very fine shred of coconut. I prefer the brand Let’s Do Organic. If you do not have access to a finely shredded coconut, simply place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixed. I think the macaroons are best when served chilled. They will also firm up once chilled.
