It's Easter time and yes, everyone needs to indulge a little bit, but it doesn't have to be all bad. Try these little no-bake required macaroons that are yummy for everyone and if you want to have a little fun, shape them into some egg shapes and serve them up for Easter dinner dessert! Or better yet...pair them with your morning coffee...mmmm....macaroons.
Ingredients:
1/4 Cups Room Temperature Coconut Oil
1 Cup Coconut Flakes
1/2 Cup Sliced Raw Almonds (or you can toast them a bit yourself for some extra flavour)
1/4 Cup Macadamia Nuts, crushed into chunks
1/4 Cup Raw Honey
1/2 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Sea Salt
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the coconut flakes, almonds, macadamia nuts, and a couple pinches of sea salt to taste. Stir the ingredients until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, vanilla, and raw honey.
- Take the liquid mixture and pour it over the dry ingredient mixture and mix immediately together until well combined. The texture should be sticky and slightly stiff, just holding the ingredients together.
- Take half of the mixture and put it into your food processor and pulse to break up the larger pieces. Then set it to puree to create a smooth paste, about 20 seconds should do it - do not go more than a paste texture or else it will be too runny.
- Take your paste and mix it back in with the other half of the chunky mixture and stir together well.
- Form into little 2" balls, packed tightly to hold together and place on a small sheet pan that is lined with parchment paper. Make sure they don't roll around.
- Chill in the fridge for about 2 hours and they should be set and ready to serve!
