These Key Lime Macarons are coconut macarons filled with fresh key lime buttercream to make the perfect tropical inspired treat for spring and summer.
Pipe rounds or bears shapes onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between the macarons to allow the batter to spread.
Once all macarons have been piped, pick up the baking sheet with both hands and tap it firmly on counter several times. This will remove any air bubbles.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. When macarons are dry to the touch, bake *both trays at the same time (*if your oven has room, otherwise bake one at a time) for 10-14 minutes. Let macarons cool completely on parchment paper before removing and filling.
Match up the cooled macaron shells with similar sizes and shapes.
Pipe filling onto a macaron shell, add a sprinkle of toasted coconut and sandwich together with a second matched up shell. Repeat until all shells are used. Store in an airtight container.
