Hi Madhuram
I love macaroons and was searching for an eggless recipe for a while. I tried ur recipe with one change .Used unsweetened shredded coconut . It turned out just perfect. Thanks for the 2 imp tips 1) semolina and 2) wait to remove them off the sheet. Great recipe !!

Jayshree, thanks so much for giving it a try and for the feedback. I have found another simple recipe for eggless macaroons without semolina and all. Will try to bake it and and post it here.

Is it possible to post the original recipe please…? with coconut & Lime…?

Sorry Deepa, I don’t remember it exactly. I got it from a book I borrowed in the library. It’s Jill Sneider’s Cookies.

The macaroons look great… have been trying to find an eggless recipe for these for long, so I’m glad to have found your page!
I do have a question though… can I omit the condensed milk somehow? Could I make my own unsweetened condensed milk by heating skim milk for long so that it reduces by 50-60% of its original volume…

Hmm..You can prepare it at home but I’m not sure how good it’s going to be. Both the condensed milk as well as the macaroons. I googled for unsweetened condensed milk and found that evaporated milk IS unsweetened condensed milk. That’s interesting! So try it with evaporated milk but the macaroons will not be sweet enough.

With great efforts I removed all the wax paper that got struck to the cookies. My family really enjoyed them.

Thanks Madhuram.

Finally! You’re welcome Deepa.

Hi Madhuram,

The macaroons came out very good and just like what you & pictures say. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

I made a terrible mistake though. I though i could substitute wax paper instead of parchment paper and all the cookies have a lining of the wax paper. And my house is full of smoke.

Thanks once again for the great recipe !!

I had a similar experience once. I too used waxed paper instead of parchment when baking some bars and it got stuck but it did not burn though!

Thanks for the immediate response, Madhuram. All your recipes are very innovative and the photos just make me think I have to try them immediately.

The whole blog is delicious I would say….

Deepa.

Thanks Deepa. The credit for the pictures goes to my husband.

Hi Madhuram,

Can i use dry shredded coconuts or the frozen ones. Also am not sure if I have seen sweetened ones in the Indian stores.

I usually make coconut ladoos with dry desicated coconuts & condensed milk.

I am planning to make these macaroons for this evening. Thanks.

Deepa.

You can get sweetened shredded coconut in the baking aisle of American grocery stores. That’s where I got it. I wouldn’t recommend using frozen. I think it should work fine with the Indian desicated coconut.
