Expert Tips

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure all ingredients.
  • Make sure you are using coconut cream, not coconut milk.
  • You will need to add more chocolate if you are using different chocolates. A 3:1 ratio will work better for the ganache if you use generic white chocolate that does not specify the cocoa butter content.
  • If you are refrigerating the ganache overnight, bring it to room temperature (about 30 minutes on the countertop), then fill the macarons.

Recipe FAQs

How to store macarons?

Store macarons in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Can I freeze macarons?

You can freeze coconut macarons in an air-tight container for up to 6 months. Great for holidays!

Why are my macarons cracked?

This happens when macaron shells do not rest enough before baking.

Why are my macarons hollow?

There are many reasons for that. The most common are unstable meringue, incorrect folding technique, or wrong oven temperature.

Why are my macarons spread or flat after pipping?

Overmixed batter. Check the consistency of the batter every 2-3 folds. Overmixed batter will run off the spatula very fast.
