Macaroons.
Everyone, or near everyone loves macaroons, and this recipe is a sure crowd pleaser! Plus, you get to show off your healthy acumen, by sharing with all your friends and family a recipe that is so reminiscent to the traditional favorite, but … this one is healthy every step of the way! Look … the only sugar is the stevia, which is really just an non glycemic, non caloric herb! Hello sweetness!
Cookies:
- 2 cups dried, unsweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup softened coconut butter
- vanilla stevia to taste
- 1 vanilla bean, or 1 tsp vanilla extract, or to taste
Mix all ingredients until well combined.
To shape, I used a round measuring spoon to create these cookies
Dehydrate on screen until dry, but tender (I dehydrated these for 5 hours and they are perfect!)
IF you do not have a dehydrator, bake the cookies at the lowest setting until cooked, but tender.
Frosting:
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 2 tbs of raw cacao
- vanilla stevia to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
Dip your macaroons in the frosting and refrigerate or freeze until chocolate frosting hardens.
Enjoy!
