Ask a Vegan Baker

Hi Faithrules99, Vegan French Macaroons don't exist! At least google didn't hook up any information on them. Who will be the first to make them? I've added this to my ever increasing list of things to whip up. If anyone knows of a vegan version of these, please let us know.

Oh my goodness, thank you soooo much!!! I'm so excited to try them! =) Woo hoo!

I found a way better looking (can't speak for the taste) version of these, did a post about it here

unfortunately you do have to want the recipe enough to buy the book, hope this helps anyway :P

supposedly hannah at bittersweet and vegan dad have created vegan macarons. unfortunately, neither has all of the earmarks of a macaron. vegan dad didn't have much time, and his look pretty good but have no discernible feet, but he shared his recipe. it definitely has promise

hannah's look a little closer, but kinda mushroomy. and she refuses to share her recipe until she can sell it in a pdf cookbook. i refrain from comment.

here's the recipe from which i have been working:

her's are the first or second try, so they're a little off the mark. i have been working on this for 2 months now, and have had limited success. the best i've gotten looks like a macaron, medium sized feet, smooth shell, good taste. however, they end up somewhat hollow, which i attribute to the versawhip and xanthan. i am 80-90% there, though some batches are more like 50%. versawhip's manufacturers should be contacting me shortly, hopefully with an applications technician ready to troubleshoot.

soon.

Made about five batches and thought they were okay, then went to Laduree in Paris to try their macaroons… 8-O …made mine look like a kid made them thanks for your tips! i’ll be trying and trying til i get this right!
