FAQs

What's the difference between macaroons and coconut macaroons? ›

Macaroons are larger, denser and chewier that macarons, and definitely easier to make. Coconut macaroons are flavored with sugar and vanilla, but their main flavor is the coconut itself.

Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and NOT evaporated milk (a common mistake that leaves you with runny coconut macaroons). My original recipe called for slightly more milk, but I've reduced it to make sure you don't experience “puddles” beneath your coconut macaroons.

Consuming fiber-rich foods can also help you lose weight. Two coconut macaroons provide 2 to 4 grams of fiber, which can keep you feeling full for longer.

They should be just fine if you leave them out on the counter in an airtight container. They'll definitely soften up a little bit, but they'll be perfectly delicious. If you're planning on eating your macaroons within 2 weeks, then definitely go ahead and keep your coconut macaroons in the refrigerator.

What is condensed coconut milk? This product is thick and sweet, it's made from coconut milk, water, sugar and usually a thickener. Best for using in drinks such as pina coladas or as a dairy-free substitute for condensed milk. It's not suitable as a substitute for coconut milk or cream.

The coconut macaroon was first discovered in the 1890s by a French company that added shredded coconut to the macaroon to help the macaroon from spoiling during long shipping processes. The same issue happened in the US, too, when a North American baker received a shipment of coconuts from a Cuban businessman.

What baked goods can diabetics eat? Baked goods made with whole wheat flour, almond flour, or other low-GI ingredients and less added sugar are fine for diabetics. Some good choices are sugar-free carrot cake, keto chocolate cake, and low-carb coconut macaroons.

Do you need parchment paper for macaroons? ›
