Method
- Step 1
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Cover and place in fridge for ½ an hour to set.
- Step 2
- Preheat oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place a heaped dessert spoon of macaroon mixture on the tray. Using your hands, mould it to form a nest shape, being sure to create a well in the middle. Repeat process until all nests are formed. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
