Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Macarons
  1. Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and mix in warm coconut cream, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
  4. Whip egg whites using a mixer until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites until smooth.
  6. Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag and pipe small rounds on a prepared baking sheet.
  7. Let the piped shells rest for 45 minutes until dry to the touch, then bake at 290–300°F for 14-15 minutes.
  8. After cooling, pipe ganache onto one shell and sandwich with another shell.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 24-48 hours.
