Recipe : Chocolate Macaroon Pizza
- 1 pkg. (450g) fudge brownie mix
- 2 egg whites
- 2 pkg. (200g each) sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 can (300mL) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 C. sliced almonds
- 1 square (1oz/30g) semisweet chocolate
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a 15-inch circle of parchment paper; place on
large round stone. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Pour
batter onto parchment paper, spreading into a 14-inch circle. (Do not bake
without parchment paper or batter will run off baking stone while baking) Bake
15-18 minutes or until brownie is set. Do not over bake. Remove to cooling rack.
In clean bowl, separate egg whites from egg yolks. (Set egg yolks aside for
another use.) Fold coconut and sweetened condensed milk into egg whites. Spread
coconut mixture over top of brownie base to within 2 inches of edge. Sprinkle
with almonds. Return to oven and bake 25 minutes or until edges of coconut are
deep golden brown. Remove to cooling rack. Finely chop chocolate. Melt chocolate
with oil in micro-wave, uncovered, on MEDIUM 2 minutes, stirring once, or until chocolate is melted
and smooth. Using a pizza cutter, cut pizza into wedges. Drizzle with melted
chocolate. Serve.
TIP: Brownie base can be baked earlier in the day and cooled before finishing.
Then top, bake and serve warm, if desired.
