With our rainbow recipes we try to make the world a little more colorful and accepting from the kitchen! Will you help? Share your creations via #rainbowrecipes.
Coconut Macaroons Recipe
The basis of every coconut macaroon recipe is simple: egg whites, sugar and desiccated coconut. We will replace the egg whites for our vegan recipe and for the taste, we add vanilla extract.
How do you make coconut macaroons? You beat the egg whites stiff and mix all ingredients together.
You can make little balls out of this sticky batter.
Bake the coconut macaroons at 160 °C / 356 °F in about 20 minutes (depending on the size of the coconut balls).
They are ready when they have browned a bit. Allow the macaroons to cool completely.
Vegan Coconut Macaroons
We make coconut macaroons without eggs! There is a perfect substitute for egg whites: aquafaba.
The word sounds very chic, but it is not: aquafaba is simply chickpea liquid. So next time you make hummus (or rainbow hummus), save the liquid!
1 egg white can be replaced by 2 tablespoons of aquafaba. You can whip this liquid just as stiff as egg white.
It’s important for this recipe that you whip it up so stiffly that you can keep your bowl upside down, and it won’t fall out.
Rainbow Glaze
We decorate our coconut macaroons with rainbow glaze! Making glaze is very easy. All you need is powdered sugar and a liquid.
I like to add lemon juice to make the icing nice and fresh, but you can also use plain water or (vegetable) milk.
For this recipe, we also add a coloring to the glaze. Do this before adding liquid or your icing will become too thin.
We use gel food coloring, but you can also use liquid coloring or natural colors. If you use liquid coloring, you need less or no extra liquid.
If you use powdered colors or gel coloring, add a liquid of your choice (water, lemon juice or milk) to make the glaze.
The glaze should be thin enough to decorate the coconut crown with a spoon, but not so thin that the glaze overflows.

Vegan Coconut Macaroons With Rainbow Glaze
Vegan coconut macaroons (without eggs) with rainbow glaze.
Making coconut macaroons is really easy, but usually egg whites are used.
So we’ll replace that, and we also share our tips to make glaze!
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoon aquafaba (chick pea liquid)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams sugar (5.5 tbsp), or 4 tbsp agave syrup
- 2 cups desiccated coconut (120 grams)
- 12 tablespoon powdered sugar
- water, or lemon juice or milk
- food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 ° F / 160 ° C.
- Beat the aquafaba, with vanilla extract, in a bowl until stiff. It must be so stiff that you can turn the bowl upside down and the aquafaba will not fall out.
- Fold the coconut grater and sugar through the aquafaba until well blended.
- Grease your hands with (coconut) oil and make 8 beautiful balls. Place this on a baking tray with (reusable) baking paper and bake in 15-20 minutes. They are good when they have turned a little brown. Then let them cool completely (otherwise they will break).
- Meanwhile, make the rainbow glaze. Spoon 2 tablespoons powdered sugar over 6 cups. Add a color to each cup. We use gel dye, but you can also use liquid dye or natural coloring.
- If you use liquid coloring, you need less or no extra liquid. If you use powder coloring or gel coloring, add a liquid of your choice (water, lemon juice or milk) to make the glaze. The glaze must be thin enough to decorate the coconut macaroon with a spoon.
- Decorate the cooled coconut macaroons with the rainbow glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies with a spoon.
