Store coconut macaroons properly so that they stay soft and don't dry out
The best thing about coconut macaroons is, of course, that they
are crispy
on the
outside
but
still nice and soft
on the
inside
.
Correct storage is
important
so that it stays that way for a while
.
Basically, coconut macaroons keep fresh for two to three weeks.
It is best to store them in a
sealable tin can
, in this the macaroons are protected from drying out as well as from mold.
Storage in the refrigerator is not recommended for these small coconut treats.
If your
coconut macaroons
do get hard, there is a trick: Put a few apple pieces with you in the sealable container in which you store the macaroons.
Now these can absorb the moisture from the apple and become soft again.
But don't leave the apple in the can for more than two days, otherwise there
is a risk of
mold
