Delicate coconut shells filled with luscious coconut cream filling, these macarons are a tropical dessert delight that’s naturally gluten-free and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 120g almond flour
  • 200g powdered sugar
  • 100g egg whites (about 3 large eggs), room temperature
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cream of tartar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp coconut extract (optional)
  • Toasted shredded coconut (optional garnish)
  • White chocolate drizzle (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together into a large bowl.
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue using a spatula. Stop when the batter flows like lava and forms a ribbon when dropped from the spatula.
  4. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto silicone baking mats, spacing them evenly. Tap the trays firmly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  5. Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until the tops are dry to the touch.
  6. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes. They’re done when they easily peel off the baking mat.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and coconut extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  8. Match macaron shells of similar size. Pipe the coconut cream filling onto one shell and top with another to create a sandwich.
  9. Roll the edges of the assembled macarons in toasted coconut or drizzle with melted white chocolate for garnish.

Notes

Allow the macaron shells to rest properly to avoid cracking. Use room-temperature egg whites for a stable meringue. Weigh your ingredients for precision.
