Sweet Punch for January
This is my first time I am participating in Sweet Punch. This month’s theme is Meringue. The sweet punch team has suggested 3 recipes for which I have given the link below. As I don’t use eggs I didn’t know what to do. Meringue can be prepared only with egg whites and there is no eggless version. So I asked the sweet punch team about substituting the meringue layer with an eggless macaroon recipe. They readily agreed for that. So I started experimenting. First I got an eggless golden macaroon recipe from the web and tried it out. But it came out very soft. Though my daughter liked it very much, I was not satisfied with that soft layer.
So I used a cookie recipe and prepared it again. It was fantastic. I loved combination of the soft cake layer and a crispy cookie layer. Both my hubby and kid enjoyed it a lot. But be sure to consume it on the day itself. Because the next day the cookie layer did not remain crisp. It became little soft. If you want to join the team please click here.
This was my first trial with the golden macaroon topping

Hi Gayathri,
I’m priya.where do you get walnut in madurai?
And what type of oven you r using i.e brand and specification.
Hi Priya, you can get walnuts a Nila Fruits, Nilgiris and Reliance stores. I don’t buy any branded pack. I just pick the packs done by the super market. I use a Morphy Richards 34lt OTG.
Thank u Gayathri…
