Filipino Coconut Macaroons Recipe

How to achieve this kind of coconut macaroons that is not too toasted on top?

I know each oven may differ in heat and the heat of my oven may not be the same to your oven. Some are using the traditional oven, electric oven, convection and turbo oven. They are all different from each other.

So for some of you who might be new in baking. If you’re having a hard time with your oven and always end up with a toasted top specifically for macaroons. My best tip is to bake it in a bain marie method and cover the top with foil. “Bain marie” method is placing your baking tray in another baking tray with halfway water in it. This way you will prevent your macaroons from over toasting. Or you may also steam your macaroons and just toast/broil it for 3-5 minutes in the oven.

For a Cheesy Macaroon version, you may also top it with grated cheese and toast/ broil for a few minutes until cheese is melted. I hope you enjoy this recipe and learned something new today, this is the secret technique. Happy baking!
