Coconut macaroons cupcakes
Lately I’ve been running out of time, most days. It may be the fact that I’m trying to raise my daughter right while doing my very best to be a top notch housewife. Or maybe I’m just as slow as a snail and that would make much more sense.
Anyway, I needed quick recipes, that didn’t take up all of my so called free time, recipes that are also edible. I also wanted to make a dessert that’s not packing too many calories but it’s still very tasty and enjoyable enough to count as a sweet treat. And these coconut macaroons cupcakes are just the perfect recipe to cover all that. Plus they’re pretty good to make for holidays too.
Making this recipe was also a good way to use some of the coconut leftovers from my Coconut chocolate bars with Milka chocolate. I hate wasting food so I had no choice but to grab this opportunity.
So if you enjoy coconut, like to make easy treats or you need a dessert for holidays then this light as a feather recipe is for you. The coconut gives the recipe a doze of sophistication and the macaroons keep well for a few days, which makes them the perfect dessert to make ahead or give as gifts during the holidays.
