AIP COCONUT MACAROON KISSES
Some of my clients that are following a grain free diet often complain about their frustration in finding paleo dessert recipes that are actually good. Today's AIP Coconut Macaroon Kisses are the solution for those cravings! I totally get it, when you are in the mood for a treat, you want something delicious that can blown you away. And I know that most of the times, when you look for paleo desserts at the grocery store, you can only find treats that are mostly made with almond meal and therefore they are not suitable for those with nut allergies. Finding the perfect dessert that can suit everybody's allergies can be quite tough. As always, making your own paleo dessert recipes is the key to success.In this AIP Coconut Macaroon recipe you'll find all the most delicious, grain and dairy free ingredients, that marry each other in an explosion of flavor! You want a quick, fun fact to prove you how delicious these AIP Coconut Macaroon Kisses are?! Get this: the day I baked them I was in Cremona, Italy and I brought them to the pop up office my team rented for 2 weeks (yes, since we are digital, we can do this and lots of other cool things, but this is a different story ;) ... After they tried them, everybody's biggest complain was: "Why didn't you make more of them?! Do you think it's fair to tease us and only let us have a couple of pastries each?" Man, they were upset! ...But I can't say I wasn't flattered!! :)What Makes this Macaron Recipe Special? Coconut Flour & a Touch of Italy! I think what makes these grain free macaroons so special is the combination of the typical coconut treat with the Italian tradition of "Baci" (that in Italian means "kisses"). These sandwiched cookies (that are basically kissing each other) are kept together by a delicious prune & chocolate filling that's the the perfect contrast to the sweetness of the vanilla e coconut flavor of the spongy macaroons. In addition, when creating this paleo version of macaroons, I used some of my favorite coconut products like coconut flour and coconut oil. I find that the amazing sweetness that they have naturally is they key to keep this recipe very low in sugar, but highly delectable nonetheless! Whether you are on a AIP, grain free paleo diet or not, these Coconut Macaroon Kisses make for a deliciously healthy dessert you can impress your friends and family with! NOTE: This recipe makes 12 macaroons, but if you want to play safe and not hear anybody complaining (just like I did)... double the sizes! I am sure they won't go to waste ;)

AIR FRYER COCONUT MACAROONS
Nutty, sweet, and exactly what you expect from a coconut macaroon! The texture is crispy on the outside and somewhat sticky and chewy on the inside. The chocolate adds a nice bitterness that cuts through the sweetness. These are so easy to prepare and would make great gifts, plus, they're easy to freeze!

Steps:
- Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the air fryer basket, leaving 1 inch on each side to use as handles.
- Mix coconut, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
- Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks almost form, about 90 seconds. Fold egg whites into the coconut mixture.
- Working in batches, spoon level tablespoons of the coconut mixture into rounds and place on the parchment paper, about 6 at time. Carefully transfer the parchment with coconut rounds into the air fryer basket.
- Cook until golden brown and set, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove parchment from basket, transfer macaroons to a wire rack, and repeat the process with remaining coconut mixture using the same piece of parchment paper.
- Microwave chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on high power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second increments, until melted and smooth, about 90 seconds total.
- Dip flat bottoms of macaroons into melted chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. Let rest until chocolate firms, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use unsweetened coconut: This will prevent your macaroons from being too sweet.
- Shred your own coconut: This will give your macaroons a better texture than using pre-shredded coconut.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This will help your macaroons rise and be light and fluffy.
- Fold the coconut and nuts into the egg whites gently: Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your macaroons tough.
- Bake the macaroons at a low temperature: This will help them dry out slowly and evenly.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and texture.
