Delicate macarons with a crisp shell, tender interior, and a silky coconut cream filling, perfect for celebrations or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour (finely sifted)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp coconut extract
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together twice to ensure a smooth mixture.
  2. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should flow like lava when dropped from the spatula.
  4. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Tap the baking sheet firmly on the counter to release air bubbles. Let the macaron shells sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
  6. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through. The shells should lift easily off the parchment when done.
  7. Beat softened butter, powdered sugar, coconut extract, and heavy cream together until smooth and fluffy. Stir in toasted coconut.
  8. Pipe the coconut cream filling onto half of the shells, then sandwich them with the remaining shells.
  9. Roll the edges of the filled macarons in extra toasted coconut for garnish.
  10. Let the macarons rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours for maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

Use aged egg whites for best results. Sifting ingredients ensures smooth shells. Let macarons rest in the fridge for 24 hours for optimal flavor.
