With strawberries in season, my daughter has fallen in love with making homemade ice-cream. She can now crack and separate all the eggs without splitting the yolks and not have any land on the floor, quite an achievement! The ice cream only uses the yolks - so what to do with those whites? Voila! Coconut Macaroons.... There are a number of recipes out there, but I wanted one that was free of granulated sugar and fit the number of egg whites we had left over from ice cream making.

If you are following the Autoimmune Paleo healing diet, have successfully re-introduced egg whites at Stage 2, and tolerate honey and coconut - you can add this recipe to your sweet treats repertoire.
