As I was scrolling through Instagram on Sunday I was mesmerized by an @thefeedfeed video for blackberry coconut macaroons. They did a collaboration with Driscoll’s Berries. I thought I was already done with my Passover baking, but apparently not! I had to make these macaroons. I deciced to make mine with raspberries instead of blackberries. The macaroon batter is simple to make and you don’t even need to bust out the stand mixer. I used my hand held mixer, but a whisk and some muscle will also work.
I have started writing my recipes using weights rather than measurements. I think that will give you more accurate results. If you don’t already have a kitchen scale (and if you have ever been to Weight Watchers, you must still have one lurking in a dark cupboard somewhere!), do yourself a favour and get one.
The addition of tart raspberries is a welcome addition to macaroons, as traditionally they can be cloyingly sweet. Plus, that pink colour is pretty fabulous. A dip and drizzle of some bittersweet chocolate makes for a very pretty cookie.
Wishing all a happy and healthy Passover. Let me know if you make these!!
Looks lovely, and I want to make these. How much coconut?
Ooops! Thanks for catching the error Natalie. Need to hire you as my proofreader. Recipe all fixed now!!
Haha! Love the Weight Watcher scale reference – and yes, I still have mine too!
So glad I could make you laugh Shelley!
These look beautiful & delicious! We usually only make coconut macaroons for Christmas, so I associate them with winter, but your raspberry version is great for spring/summer. Love that dipping shot, btw, with the beautifully glossy chocolate.
Thanks Kiki. Yes, the berries totally make macaroons springtime appropriate! The tart flavour of raspberries is such a good contrast to the sweet coconut.
Chag Sameach!
Such a pretty dessert. Happy Passover to you all.
