Best 7 Coconut Macaroons Or Macaroon Kisses Recipes
In the realm of delectable treats, coconut macaroons and macaroon kisses stand out as ethereal confections that tantalize the taste buds. These delightful pastries share a common ancestry, yet each boasts a unique personality.

Both variations promise an explosion of flavor, with the sweetness of the coconut perfectly complementing the delicate nuttiness of the almonds. These heavenly treats are often adorned with a drizzle of chocolate or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, adding an extra touch of indulgence.

AIP COCONUT MACAROON KISSES
Some of my clients that are following a grain free diet often complain about their frustration in finding paleo dessert recipes that are actually good. Today's AIP Coconut Macaroon Kisses are the solution for those cravings! I totally get it, when you are in the mood for a treat, you want something delicious that can blown you away. And I know that most of the times, when you look for paleo desserts at the grocery store, you can only find treats that are mostly made with almond meal and therefore they are not suitable for those with nut allergies. Finding the perfect dessert that can suit everybody's allergies can be quite tough. As always, making your own paleo dessert recipes is the key to success.In this AIP Coconut Macaroon recipe you'll find all the most delicious, grain and dairy free ingredients, that marry each other in an explosion of flavor! You want a quick, fun fact to prove you how delicious these AIP Coconut Macaroon Kisses are?! Get this: the day I baked them I was in Cremona, Italy and I brought them to the pop up office my team rented for 2 weeks (yes, since we are digital, we can do this and lots of other cool things, but this is a different story ;) ... After they tried them, everybody's biggest complain was: "Why didn't you make more of them?! Do you think it's fair to tease us and only let us have a couple of pastries each?" Man, they were upset! ...But I can't say I wasn't flattered!! :)What Makes this Macaron Recipe Special? Coconut Flour & a Touch of Italy! I think what makes these grain free macaroons so special is the combination of the typical coconut treat with the Italian tradition of "Baci" (that in Italian means "kisses"). These sandwiched cookies (that are basically kissing each other) are kept together by a delicious prune & chocolate filling that's the the perfect contrast to the sweetness of the vanilla e coconut flavor of the spongy macaroons. In addition, when creating this paleo version of macaroons, I used some of my favorite coconut products like coconut flour and coconut oil. I find that the amazing sweetness that they have naturally is they key to keep this recipe very low in sugar, but highly delectable nonetheless! Whether you are on a AIP, grain free paleo diet or not, these Coconut Macaroon Kisses make for a deliciously healthy dessert you can impress your friends and family with! NOTE: This recipe makes 12 macaroons, but if you want to play safe and not hear anybody complaining (just like I did)... double the sizes! I am sure they won't go to waste ;)
