The Unexpected Ingredient For Smoother Coconut Macaroons
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
For the softest, smoothest coconut macaroon recipe around, you may want to consider adding one unexpected ingredient: baby food.
Baby food is already puréed and whipped, offering that perfectly fluffy and smooth consistency. It will leave you trying not to eat the entire batch of macaroons in one sitting.
It’s crucial to create the right mixture for the best texture. Mix the baby food in slowly, and if your batter is runny, just pour in more dried coconut to thicken your creation.
Feel free to experiment with different flavors of baby food like banana, peach, strawberry, or pear. The smooth bite will hold with any flavor of your choice.
Finish your macaroons with a light dusting of powdered sugar or cinnamon. You can also just enjoy them straight out of the oven for a comforting, yet irresistible taste.
