Well, that didn't work - FAIL: Keto/Sugar Free Macarons
Вставка

- I'm looking for a sugar free/keto friendly macaron recipe... this is not that recipe. This is a fail. The recipe itself seemed solid enough and it had over 4 stars... but I failed to read the comments (which, let's not get into why the comments were so negative yet the stars on the recipe were bloated...hmmm). However when messing with the recipe calculator on the original website (WholesomeYum.com) there were some errors (because I measured using imperial measurements and I weighed and they were completely different... not just a little different) And it's not often that I share such an epic fail as in this video, but I wanted people to know that sometimes a recipe fails not because you failed, but because the recipe itself (or the calculations) failed. Because there is no way that this recipe turns out the way she has it pictured in that recipe. And I used no substitutions... I bought her mixes (I made that mistake with my GF bread) which were quite pricey!
The original recipe is from Wholesome Yum www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-mac... and I have left a comment on the recipe letting her know of this fail. But she has not published that comment or responded.
If you'd like the full recipe, you'll have to head over and take your gamble there. :)

I actually just winged a keto recipe for macarons today
I know that keto sweeteners are super sweet so I reduced the amount
I didn't powder it, since it was small enough to go through the mesh, maybe I should have, because the crystals persisted in the cookies..
The workflow was to mix the drys with half of the egg whites, then fold in the merengue.
Made sort of a swiss meringue instead of Italian since I didn't know how an erythritol syrup would behave.
As you did, I found that the amount of the merengue was not enough to achieve the correct consistency, so I added 2 raw egg whites, which gave me a less runny batter than I should have gotten, but still piped okay.
The texture was grainy and a but dry, but I still got a drying effect after an hour.
They baked without feet, but with good texture and not too sweet to want to throw them in the trash 😂
There is still a few attempts ahead before I can call them macarons, but maybe there's hope 😅
If you find one... hook a girl up! I have two friends who have to refrain from cane sugar and we are still searching!
Thanks so much I was just about to try the same recipe. So glad I came across your video because the ingredients are very expensive.
VERY expensive!!!!
Thanks for the video. I recently tried my standard macaron recipe that works really well here in Colorado and subbed Swerve Confectioners sugar for powdered sugar (my boyfriend is diabetic). All looked okay until I realized they weren't drying. I let them sit out nearly 2 hours before I gave up and baked them. To say they were awful is an understatement; flat, sticky, and ungodly sweet. After watching a ton of videos, I am wondering if adding powdered egg whites, as Pies and Tacos does sometimes, would help them dry and develop feet since sugar is hydrophilic. Also, I have noticed that sugar substitutes tend to be oversweet in baking so I always add less. I'll be watching this channel with hope that you find a good recipe!
Ooooh like add some extra meringue to the batter? That might just work. I'm for sure messing with them. I actually have SWERVE in my cabinet right now, because I'm downright determined to make this work ;)
I just about to try the same recipe! Glad I watched yours!
If you find one that works, please let me know! I'm still looking.
Yes, read the comments. A lot of times people give a 4 star for the recipe and then comment, “can’t wait to try this recipe “. Really how can you rate a recipe before you actually make it and try it??
EXACTLY! Ugh... it's fine though, it helped a lot of people.
Thanks for posting. I have to say, almost EVERY Keto recipe I’ve tried the past year and a half has been - not worth the effort, expense or disappointment. Both sweet and savory recipes just don’t fill the carb and sugar void. I’ll keep on trying though and am interested to see if you make a breakthrough with the macarons. 👍🏻
I bought more stuff to try again. I almost feel like zero sugar would be better then something like this!
Thanks for sharing. I have failed several times now lol. I was just diagnosed with diabetes so I was looking for a macron recipe I could use but none of them have worked for me... did you end up finding one that works?
Not yet, still working on it. Hoping to get one nailed soon!
It's the cocoa I've done that before
Thanks for keeping it honest. (and taking the hit so we don't have to)
It was so sad, but I knew it needed to be done.
Oh yes please. I need keto macarons in my life. I tried her recipe as well/trash
I've tried three more times, still no dice yet!
