Coconut Macaroon Pie Recipe (1)

The food:Macaroons started asItalianalmond meringue cookiesand, when theycame to France in the 1500s, evolved into colorful stuffed sandwiches. While I like thatclassiccookie,I much preferthe chewy goodness of a coconut macaroon.Jewish chefs adapted the original recipe to remove the flour and leavening agent (using egg whites instead), making them a popularPassover treat. I tried recently to make coconut macaroons, but they turned out dense and gooey rather than light and airy. Instead of pouting, I decided to turn lemons into lemonadeor,more accurately, gooey macaroons into a coconut macaroon pie!

The music:The first time I heard of Edith Piafwas in the 2007foreign-language film “La Vie En Rose” in 2007, for which Marion Cotillard won an Oscar®. The film’s soundtrack made me immediately want more of the French cabaret singerknown as The Little Sparrow.I was ecstatic last summer when I came across three 7-inch LPsby the legendary chanteuse. Therecords include great coverart, and I treasure them all. I can’t really pick one, soI won’t.Among these three records are 24 songs that showcase her commanding andhaunting voice.For a sampling of songs from my albums (plus a couple other faves), listen to my Coconut Macaroon Pie playlist on Spotify while you cook or eat.

Nothing will make you feel more perfectly Parisian than listening toEdith Piaf while making and eating a macaroon pie. This dessert is sure to makeyour friends or familysay ooh la la.It truly tastes like a classic coconut macaroon in a pie crust.How can that be bad? Even better, it only takes a few ingredients and even fewer minutesto prepare (unless you get really fancy and make a homemade crust). Oneword of warning: In addition to the crust, thispie’s filling does include some flour to thicken it a bit, so it’s not gluten-free like coconut macaroon cookies.

This is one of those pies that tastes great when it’s fresh, and only gets better as it rests. The sugary center firms up as it chills, turninginto a thick coconut candy bar. Of course, it’s unlikely to last long, so you may want to eat it while you can!Bon appétit!

    After seeing La Vie En Rose a few years back, I got really into it! I also love Louis Armstrong’s version. Then later on, I went through a classic French Pop phase so I broadened my French music knowledge with Mireille Matheiu, Francoise Hardy, and Jane Birkin…lol my taste in music is very eclectic, Becky.

    It actually turned out a beautiful brown colour anyway Becky, the coconut was toasted just perfectly too. I am not a dessert/ pastry cook at all but this was so easy and very delicious. I even made my own pastry which is a first for me. I have actually given this recipe to 3 of my coconut mad friends. Thank you very much again for posting Becky

    I absolutely will. I am thinking I might make it by putting coconut oil in the bottom of the pan, then just spreading almond meal and maybe flaxseed meal on the bottom of the pie for a crust and bake it. Think that would work?
