Coconut Macaroons
These coconut macaroons are quick and easy to make, so perfect for whipping up when friends arrive unexpectedly for afternoon tea.
A childhood favourite of mine, so easy to make and so cute! A little macaroon never goes astray for morning tea, or crumbled in a dessert soup! Souper! (No, not macaron, maca-rooooon!)
My mum used to make these way before the trendier macaron made it's appearance. We had a little dome shaped egg cup that we would use as a mould. You can make them rough and ready (as pictured) or you can push them into a mould, release them and cook. Partially dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with a few nuts, elevates them again to a little bit special.
Go and make them and create a few memories of your own.
