Ingredients
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk - 14 ounces
- 3 egg whites

- 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions

- While the chocolate is still warm, dip the bottoms of the coconut macaroons in the chocolate, and place on parchment paper for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate cools and sets on the cookies.
- Remove the cookies from the parchment paper, and serve immediately.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
