Coconut Macaroons

We are so excited to add another fantastic contributing chef to our team and she doesn’t disappoint with this delicious first recipe!  Maxine ‘s (Gloriously Delicious ) Coconut Macaroons are the perfect dessert for a dinner party … or just for a creative night in!

What you’ll need:

For the macaroons:
-  1 cup Desiccated Coconut
-  1 tablespoon Coconut Flour
-  ½ cup Coconut Milk
-  4 tablespoons Coconut Syrup  (if keto, sub for erythritol and add a tbsp of Coconut Oil ) 
-  ½ cup grated beetroot

For the raw cacao drizzle (optional):
-  1 tablespoon melted Coconut Oil
-  1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
-  ½ tablespoon Coconut Syrup   (if keto, sub for erythritol + another 1/2 tbsp coconut oil) 

 

Let’s get started!

1.Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
2.Put all the ingredients into a bowl, and mix until well-combined!
3.Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat on medium heat for a minute or two to allow the mixture to firm. You’ll know it’s done when it can be scooped up without appearing liquid-like!
4.Using a spoon, scoop the mixture onto a lined baking tray. The macaroons should resemble individual domes.
5.Place the tray in the centre of your oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops begin to crisp.
6.Make your raw cacao drizzle while you wait by combining all the cacao drizzle ingredients into a bowl, and whisking well!
7.Remove the macaroons from the oven, and allow to cool for around 20 minutes or until firm!
8.Use a drizzle spoon or simply a streamlined teaspoon to pour the mixture over the macaroons, moving your hand back and forth as you go for the drizzle effect!
9.Place the macaroons in the freezer for around 10 minutes, then store in the fridge.

10.Enjoy – and share the wealth – this recipe makes 9 macaroons!
