I made some coconut macaroons that didn’t turn out at all. The recipe either had way too much coconut in it or not enough egg whites to match, because they were just…ick. They were dry and when I tried to swallow a bite I ended up with a mass of coconut stuck in my throat. I decided to throw them in the food processor and reuse them in other things (I figured it would be fine, since the mixture looked like plain coconut).
First I mixed some macaroons coconut into dark chocolate and added raisins and almonds, and also mixed coconut into white chocolate with cinnamon, raisins and almonds.
Later on I made scones with coconut, chocolate chips and almonds! I had the recipe saved for a while and I’m so glad the failed macaroons finally made me try it. They were so good! Joy recommends eating them with cherry jam which I wasn’t sure about, but I tried a piece with some of Wegman’s mixed berry fruit spread (the one with raspberry as the main berry), and she was right, yum! (Also, new plate from Target!)
