AIP COCONUT MACAROON KISSES



AIP Coconut Macaroon Kisses image

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 ;)

COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut Macaroons image

If you are a coconut lover, you'll want to make these moist, chewy macaroons all the time. Crisp on the outside and pillowy within, they take only a few minutes to put together and keep extremely well. Their perfect texture comes from fluffy sweetened coconut for softness and crunchier unsweetened coconut for more chewiness. Coconut flour, ubiquitous now because of gluten-free baking, is very absorbent and works beautifully to absorb the extra liquid that would otherwise run out of the macaroon, but matzo cake meal can be used during Passover and all-purpose flour any other time of year. Just double check that whatever you use is kosher for Passover.

Time 40m

Yield About 18 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/151 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon melted virgin coconut oil or neutral oil, like safflower or grapeseed
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean (see Tips)
1 1/2 cups/128 grams sweetened flaked coconut (see Tips)
1 1/2 cups/128 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons coconut flour, matzo cake meal or all-purpose flour (see Tips)
4 ounces/113.5 grams bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Flaky salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites, salt and sugar until creamy, thick and white. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of the oil and the vanilla.
  • Fold in the flaked and shredded coconut and the flour, mixing well so the coconut is evenly moistened. At this point, the macaroons can be baked, but you can also refrigerate the mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Use a small 1-ounce cookie scoop to portion the coconut mixture (about 2 tablespoons per macaroon) and squeeze together in a ball. Space a few inches apart on the prepared sheets and rough up the texture a little with your fingers.
  • Bake, switching the pans from back to front and top to bottom, until golden on the bottom and toasty all over, 16 to 21 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer the macaroons to a cooling rack close together. Set the rack over one of the baking sheets (keep the parchment on) to catch chocolate drips during drizzling. Cool the macaroons completely.
  • Melt the chocolate with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat and stir well. Drizzle the macaroons with the chocolate. Let the chocolate set a little in a cool place or in the refrigerator before topping with flaky salt. The macaroons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • Toast the coconut in the oven before using it to enhance its flavor.
  • Be sure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form for a light and airy macaroon.
  • Fold the coconut and sugar into the egg whites gently to avoid deflating them.
  • Drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a small spoon or piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature until they are set and golden brown.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before enjoying them.

Conclusion:

Coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special events. With their delicate texture and sweet coconut flavor, these macaroons are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give coconut macaroons a try.
