It’s no secret we love an easy recipe here at Front Porch Life! These key lime coconut macaroons are precisely that. They take little to no time to prepare, and you only need to bake them for about 12 minutes or so, and you’re set.

SWAPS

• You can use unsweetened coconut, but it will not be as sweet and will have a slightly different texture. We recommend sweetened coconut.
• You could swap out the lime juice and zest for lemon to make them lemon coconut macaroons.
• You can use fresh or bottled lime juice.
• This recipe uses sweetened condensed milk. If you don’t want to use store-bought, you can make your own with this recipe.
