Who’s needs a fast last-minute dessert for Passover-slash-Easter weekend? If it’s you, how about coconut macaroons? They’re on the healthier side of sweet treats, because of the fiber in the coconut, and they’re classic at Passover, and go well on an Easter buffet. Anyway I just love them. So I put a bunch together for you!
Cassy Joy Garcia’s Paleo Coconut Macaroons We’ve got Fed & Fit blogger and cookbook author Cassy Joy Garcia on the show this week, and she’s all about eating healthier. So she whipped up a strategy for Paleo macaroons. If you pop over to her website you can see all the big batch gluten-free recipes we were talking about this week on the show.
A Fancy Chocolate Macaroon Cake If you’re in the mood for some ambitious baking that takes those terrific coconut macaroon flavors and makes them look very fancy, make a chocolate macaroon cake! Very cutting edge of you:
Blackberry, Pistachio and Coconut Macaroon TartThis is a lovely coconut macaroon variation, a bit rustic French bakery looking, and then the pistachios and blackberries make it really fresh.
Coconut CocktailI was feeling a bit in need of a sudden spring break so I decided you should have a new coconut cocktail for the weekend—a little coconut simple syrup, some tamarind, that’s a spring break, right? I think so.
