Macarons, Macaroons, and Macron - What's the Difference?
If you're a fan of French cuisine or just have a sweet tooth, you may have come across the word "macaron" before. But what exactly is a macaron, and what's the difference between it and a macaroon or even a Macron?
In the first episode of Fabulously Delicious, we talked to pastry chef Molly Wilkinson about all things macarons. According to Molly, a macaron is a delicate, sandwich-like cookie made of two almond-based meringue shells with a filling in the middle. The shells are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they come in a variety of flavors and colors.
On the other hand, a macaroon is a denser, coconut-based cookie that is typically made with shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract. It's often dipped in chocolate and has a more rustic texture than a macaron.
