INGREDIENT NOTES:

HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM:

I use heavy whipping cream in these cranberry almond macrons. We can use coconut cream to make it free from dairy.

POWDERED SWEETENER:

I use swerve sweetener in this recipe.

ALMOND EXTRACT:

I use the extract of almond because this is a cranberry almond macron. You can use vanilla or coconut extract as well.

XANTHAN GUM:

I use xanthan gum to thicken the cream and it also binds.
