If you follow me on Pinterest you may have noticed by now that I love macarons, I’m pinning them all the time. They are so delicate. I love their versatility of flavors and their bright colors and honestly, how could I resist them? They taste like candy! Every time we go on vacation I’m sure to grab some – because they only sell them within probably 2 hours of me. In California, I loved the salted caramel and the coconut macarons from Lette Macarons in Newport Beach, and during our recent short-term move to Washington D.C. I loved getting the red velvet macarons from The Sweet Lobby.
With the recipe below I only listed the ingredients you’ll need then inserted a link to Bravetart for the directions. I love Stella’s recipe and it was also fun reading through her macaron myths. Macarons are tricky, and I’m no pro (I’ve only made them several times) so I thought it would be better just to link to her directions because she knows what she’s doing.
Raspberry Coconut Macarons
This recipe is very versatile. I also considered filling these with a chocolate ganache. They are very sweet with the jam, so if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth you might want to go with a little jam along with some dark or bittersweet ganache and maybe use a less sugar jam. Enjoy!
These are the macarons from Lette (taken March 13′). I loved their vibrant colors.
