I love spring and summer because of the abundance of fresh berries! My store across the street has the most beautiful organic berries right now and my family is in heaven having fresh berries with every meal. To change things up, I thought it would be fun to create some sort of “bowl” using my newest find…a Bake-a-Bowl pan. My Macaroon Cups with Berries are scrumptious and perfect for a summer dessert.
Don’t you wish you could just reach through the screen and give those a try? It was hard to keep the kids away from these bowls of strawberries and blackberries, but they did eventually agree to let me make the dessert I had planned out in my head. We had them after supper one evening and there was not a single bite left. It’s awesome to watch everyone enjoying fresh fruit for dessert instead of begging for ice cream…our typical summer night treat.
I baked up my vegan macaroon recipe in the new pan, filled them with fresh berries and then topped them with a little coconut milk drizzle…just to give them a little extra yumminess! This dessert is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan…yes…even the macaroon is made without egg. Not egg free..no worries. I’ll give you another option in the recipe below.
Macaroon Cups with Berries {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan}
Macaroon cups are a delicious gluten-free summer dessert! Use the ripest berries you can find for this easy dessert recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp egg replacer
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups finely diced berries
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsps sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine egg replacer & water in a medium bowl and mix well (or egg whites), then add in the coconut until well combined. Divide evenly between the 6 openings in the bottom pan. Press them up the sides and cover the openings well as these do not rise during baking. Gently press top pan onto the bottom and fit them together. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove top piece of the pan and bake for 5 more minutes. Tops should just start to brown. Let cool completely before removing to serving dish.
- Meanwhile, combine coconut milk, vanilla, and sugar in a blender, food processor, or beat with a handheld electric mixer.
- Fill bowls with diced fruit and drizzle with sweetened coconut milk.
- Serve immediately.

I definely like that the recipe is gluten free. I love berries, but I would experiment filling the macaroon cups with other fruits as well like slices of oranges and apples. Maybe vanilla yogurt and orange.
I have wanted these pans the mint I saw the on Good Cooks. Your recipe for the macaroon cups have my mouth watering and the recipe looks like I can actually do it. I also have most of the ingredients on hand -just need the handy dandy pan 🙂
I am macarooned out, I eat it all for Passover.

I have trouble getting my kids to eat fruits like berries, but I think novelty of having them in an edible bowl is enough to have them try it.
What do use the water for? It wasn’t mentioned in the directions.
Sorry about that Nancy! I’ve fixed the recipe. The water is mixed with the egg replacer powder before adding in the coconut. Thanks for letting me know.

My hubby LOVES macaroons so I bet he would really enjoy this!

I love coconut. These look great!

these look great but i’m afraid they’d turn out dry… how did they hold up?
They were great Lori! I ate them a day later and they were perfect. The coconut cream drizzle helps too.
What brand of coconut milk do you recommend?
Hi Lauren…I used (amazon links) this brand and this brand for projects requiring canned coconut milk. Hope that helps!
Coconut is one of my favorite things. So, I could see making this recipe.
