    As with previous comments I whipped egg whites to stiff peak and they worked out fab. I made with rice paper which adds the traditional element to them and adds a different texture, using parchment to stop them sticking. I would use pre cut round rice paper next time as time consuming to cut them…

    Really quick and easy - makes a delicious treat. I use a tablespoon measuring spoon to get a nice rounded macaroon. I’ve tried them with both milk and dark chocolate and definitely dark is the best.

    Mixture was way too liquid, the macaroons just flattened and merged into each other in the oven, and that was after I whipped the egg whites a bit to try to stiffen them up first (based on a previous comment here). Would say egg whites need properly whipped to stiff peaks to give them more…

    question

    Can I use coconut sugar instead of caster sugar? I have been trying to find a recipe to use it in!

    If you don't have rice paper, it tastes perfectly fine without it. I prefer mine without the dark chocolate because it brings out the flavor of the coconut.
