Coconut macaroons for Christmas

November 18, 2020 By Therese Leave a Comment

Christmas traditions

Christmas is all about traditions, right? These coconut macaroons screams Christmas tradition for me and they taste absolutely divine. The sugar and coconut intertwine perfectly – and you would think they would be too sweet, with all that sugar? Not at all. The coconut balances out the sugar in some way, making it the perfect balance. The texture is wonderfully chewy at the bite – making it something you would want to cuddle up with in the couch with a warm cup of tea, or hot chocolate.

I hope you enjoy these – being one of my favorite Christmas traditions that I repeat every year amongst other things.

NOTE: These are indeed marked as low fodmap, and they are if you limit yourself to 30 g of shredded coconut. You can figure out how many by dividing the amount of coconut you use to the amount of macaroons you end up with.

Coconut Macaroons

5 egg whites

200 g sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

250 g shredded coconut (fine)

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius.
  2. Add egg whites to a pot and lightly whisk until bubbles appear.
  3. Add sugar, vanilla sugar and shredded coconut and turn on medium heat.
  4. Keep stirring until it looks like rice porridge – sticky and white. This takes around five minutes.
  5. Transfer to a baking tray and add a teaspoon of the shredded coconut blend. These will increase in size in the oven, so make them smaller than you’d think.

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
