Paleo Creamsicle Macaroons

Not to be confused with the French macarons, the macaroons are little snow mountains of goodness typically made with shredded coconut and egg whites. Naturally, the ingredients land themselves perfectly to paleo cooking, so all you really have to do is adjust the sweeteners and create your own fun flavours. Today’s nut-free, gluten-free paleo macaroons are a guest recipe from the cookbook everyone seems to be talking about, The New Yiddish Kitchen.

Written by Simone Miller of Zenbelly and Jennifer Robins of Predominantly Paleo, the cookbook is a fresh and healthful take on a beloved food tradition. Packed with over 100 traditional Jewish foods plus bonus holiday menus, this book lets you celebrate the holidays and every day with delicious food that truly nourishes. Enjoy these creamsicle flavoured macaroons from the book (for those not in the know, creamsicle is vanilla ice-cream with orange flavoued ice coat).
