Notes

  • If you don't have monk fruit sweetener or erythritol, you can use stevia or any other low-carb sweetener of your choice.
  • If you don't have shredded unsweetened coconut, you can use shredded coconut that has been sweetened with a low-carb sweetener. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sweetener used in the recipe accordingly.
  • When whipping the egg whites, it's important to whip them until soft peaks form before slowly adding in the sweetener. This will help ensure that the keto coconut macaroons have the correct texture and structure. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the coconut macaroons to be dense and heavy.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion these macaroons onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the macaroons are all a similar size and shape.
  • You can use a lightly greased baking sheet if you don't have a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper.
  • These keto macaroons are perfect as a snack or a sweet treat and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with complementary dishes or drinks. They can be served with a cup of coffee or tea or paired with low-carb fruit like berries. For a special presentation, you can stack the macaroons on a platter and serve them as a sweet snack for guests.
