Coconut Macaroons

Posted 2014-04-22 by Vee ⇒ follow

Soft and chewy, these macaroons combine coconut, pistachios and lemon for something a little bit fancy. And the best part? They can be made in just a half hour.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 25 servings

Ingredients
80g pistachios
1 cup caster sugar
4 eggwhites
1 lemon, zest finely grated
3 ½ cups shredded or desiccated coconut

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Line 2 trays with baking paper.

Process pistachios in food processor until finely ground.

Using handheld beater, beat eggwhites and sugar together until thick and glossy.

Using a tablespoon, gently fold through lemon zest, coconut and pistachios.

Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays, about 4cm apart.

Tip: Use an ice-cream scooper instead of spoon to ensure macaroons are uniform.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until macaroons are dry and lightly golden.

Cool on a wire rack.

Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve or store in an airtight container to retain freshness for later.

Tip: Always refer to product labels to ensure they are in fact gluten free.
