Macaroons are becoming the new cupcake. People like them because they are light, colorful, and most of all, French. I have yet to gain one of these French wonders, but I have seen a lot of healthy Macaroons made of coconut floating about the Internet. So until I can figure out how to make a French Macaroon that is vegan, I will try out the coconut macaroons, because they look amazing.
My result: Though not crunchy as I suspected, they are amazing. They are like soft, white, yummy, vacation pillows for the mouth.

About The Sweetest Vegan: After making the weight loss, turned healthy lifestyle, decision to go vegan, I became frustrated that I had to miss out on my beloved desserts. After searching, far and wide for tasty vegan sweets, I was often met with disappointment. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and learn how to make my own vegan desserts. After becoming pretty good at the craft, if I must say so myself, I wanted to share my passion with the people of YouTube and the Internet. Although Vegan Dessert Vlogger was never on the results of my career quiz, I have found a future in my love of all things sweet and most things healthy. Through persistence, dedication, oven burns, and fallen cakes, I have earned full privileges of the YouTube Partnership Program and crowned one of YouTube's Next Chefs. I am YouTube's Vegan Pastry Chef. http://thesweetestvegan.com/about-the...
