Ingredients
| 100 | g | trail mix (or another fruit, nut mixture) |
| 100 | g | coconut flakes |
| 4 | pc | eggs, only the egg-white (whipped) |
| 200 | g | powdered sugar/ icing sugar |
| 30 | g | Flour (I use gluten-free flour) |
| 1 | pc | abrasion and juice of 1 lemon (an organic lemon) |
| 1 | pinch | Salt |
| 30 | pc | wafers (it works for gluten-free macaroons even without wafers) |
Instruction
Chop ingredients
Preheat the oven to 160° C.
Find some nice fruits and nuts from the student food and put them aside.
Finely chop the remaining student food in a blender.
Whip egg whites
Beat the 4 eggs separately and separate the egg white from the yolk.
Beat the pure egg whites with a pinch of salt using a hand blender at the highest speed.
Add the icing sugar as you whip. Continue beating until a firm beaten egg white is obtained.
Prepare macaroon mixture
Carefully fold in the finely chopped student food, coconut shavings, flour, lemon grater and juice with a large spoon.
Do not stir too much to preserve the airy structure of the dough.
Spread waffles
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Brush the wafers with the dough.
Place the baking wafers coated with dough on the baking trays.
Decorate
Place the dried fruits and nuts in the middle of the macaroon as decoration.
Bake
Put the macaroons in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
Switch off the oven for another 5 minutes and leave the macaroons in the oven for another 5 minutes with the oven door slightly open.
Serve
Then remove the baking tray from the oven and allow to cool completely.
The coconut macaroons are now ready to eat.
Enjoy!

3. Quick Baking, for this Coconut Macaroons are Ideal
Our delicious ‘Kokosbusserl’, as they are also called in Austria, are quick and easy to prepare.
- The egg whites give the macaroons their stability and fluffiness.
- Coconut flakes give an intense taste and bite.
- Lemon juice makes the macaroons fresh and juicy.
The coconut macaroons become particularly beautiful when they are sprayed with a piping bag with a large star spout.
Coconut macaroons are a so-called permanent pastry. Due to their high sugar content, they remain fresh for a few weeks in a sealed tin.
4. Egg Whites Tip for Coconut Macaroons
No fear of preparing beaten egg whites. It works perfectly if you pay attention to a few things:
- First I advise you to sieve the icing sugar.
- It is important that the bowl and mixing sticks are clean and absolutely fat-free so that the egg whites become really firm.
- Beat your eggs individually. Make sure that no egg yolk gets into the egg white during separation.
- Use 1 pinch of salt when whipping.
- Beat your egg whites for 1-2 minutes. When your egg whites start to set, gradually let the icing sugar trickle while beating.
- Then continue beating your egg whites until they are stiff and the icing sugar has completely dissolved.
Separate egg white and yolk nicely, please…
5. Variants for Baking
After cooling down you can dip the underside of the coconut macaroons in melted dark chocolate or simply put some chocolate on a spoon and pull over it.
Of course, this also works just as well with white or milk chocolate.
You can also vary the taste with flavours such as rum, vanilla or bitter almond oil.
At Christmas time a pinch of cinnamon or gingerbread spice fits perfectly.
You can add ground almonds, chopped pistachios or chopped candied orange peel as ingredients if you like.
