This recipe is also a great make-ahead recipe since you can easily make it and freeze it for later. I will get into all of the details later, but first, let’s talk about the equipment you need to get started. Sounds exciting? Then, gather the items mentioned below right away.

Equipment Required

  • Grater: I use a grater for this recipe and finely grated ingredients are needed.

Top Tips

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • I use eggs kept at room temperature because they are easy to beat and give a stable meringue. Do not use refrigerated eggs because they are difficult to work with and do not give good results.
  • Avoid overmixing your batter at all costs. Once you do this, you will need a time machine to fix it.
  • I like to whisk the egg mix thoroughly because if it is wet, the carrots will become sticky. That will create a huge mess, and you won’t be able to make balls out of it.
  • I find scooping the macaroons with a spoon quite easy. But if you want the perfect scoop-sized carrot cake macaroons, you can use an ice cream scooper to shape them better.
  • I always use fresh-grated carrots instead of store-bought shredded ones. Store-bought shredded carrots might get a little flaky, so freshly grated carrots work best.
  • Ideally, macaroons are made in small bits, but if you are making them larger in size, then extend the cooking time by a few minutes so that they are properly baked.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

  • Vegan: Making these macaroons vegan is quite easy. I avoid using eggs and use aquafaba instead, which helps to bind all the components together.
  • Gluten Free: An easy way to make these Gordon Ramsay carrot cake macaroons gluten-free is by using gluten-free flour like almond flour instead of regular flour.

Storing and Reheating This Recipe

Storing

  • Countertop: I do not like to leave these macaroons on the countertop for long as they become soggy and lose their crunchy profile. Hence, after an hour, I pop them into the fridge for further storage.
  • Refrigeration: I always make a couple of extra batches and store them in the fridge. But I make sure to place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • Freezing: To freeze these Gordon Ramsay Carrot Cake Macaroons, I let them cool completely. Then, I like to store them in an airtight container by placing aluminum foil or parchment paper between them. This way, they can be frozen for up to 3 months and still stay fresh. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before consumption.

Reheating

  • Oven: To reheat my Gordon Ramsay Carrot Cake Macaroons in the oven, I preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Then, I let them bake for at least 10 minutes while flipping them halfway. Since different ovens have different heating ranges, I recommend keeping a close eye on this.
  • Air Fryer: I find it very easy to reheat the Gordon Ramsay carrot cake macaroons in the air fryer. To do this, I preheat the air fryer to about 350 degrees F, then place the macaroons in it. Then, I heat them for about 5 minutes.

What To Serve With This Recipe

This crispy deliciousness tastes heavenly, but I like to serve them with fancy dips on the side to alter the taste. A very common dip, which is a heavenly combination for these Gordon Ramsay Carrot Cake Macaroons, is chocolate dip.

For best results, I like to dip my Gordon Ramsay Carrot Cake Macaroons in the chocolate dip and refrigerate them. Give this a try after it has solidified for the best taste.

To make these macaroons more filling, you can enjoy them with ice cream, Custard, or Puddings.
