Do you want a unique yet easy-to-make dessert? I suggest you try Gordon Ramsay’s carrot cake macaroons. These small heavenly bites are the best combination of two desserts; carrot cake and macaroons. 

The recipe is so simple, you don’t need to own a French patisserie to make it. A little mixing here, a little baking there and you have an elegant dessert. Macaroons are usually dipped in chocolate and carrot cakes are served with icing. You can play with both and dip it in either one. 

Also, macaroons are different from macarons. Macaron is a meringue-based dessert that is filled with sweet cream or jam. Macaroons, on the other hand, are crispy cakes made with coconut, eggs, and nuts. So, don’t confuse the two. Without any further ado, let’s make our sweet carrot cake macaroons.
