\"Magic<\/a>Magic Cream Cheese Macaroons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fall in Love with these Valentine\u2019s Day Delights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love is in the air, and delicious treats are in the kitchen. If you\u2019re looking for something to make for the one you love, or just some treats to bring into the office, I highly recommend these Magic Cream Cheese Macaroons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a no-bake recipe, made with soft Canadian Cream Cheese<\/strong> and coconut (a delicious combination that go together as well as you and your Valentine\u2026 awwww!). Ok, so if you don\u2019t have a Valentine, well these are the next best thing.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re coupled off or spending the day with friends, you can\u2019t let Valentines Day go by without a glass of wine. Pair these savoury-sweet creations with a sweet ice wine, like Domaine Pinnacle Sparkling Ice Cider<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s absolutely spectacular, with notes of apple pie and an acidity to help balance out its sweetness.\u00a0 And if you want something a little less sweet to pair with it, try a semi-sweet Riesling like Peninsula Ridge Semi-Dry Riesling<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In love or not, I hope you have a simply lovely Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Magic Cream Cheese Macaroons Recipe:<\/strong> <\/a>\"Domaine<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 oz (120 g) Canadian Cream Cheese, softened
\n\u00bd tsp (2 mL) vanilla extract
\n2 \u00bd cups (625 mL) shredded sweetened coconut
\n3 oz (90 g) dark, milk, or white chocolate, crushed<\/p>\n

Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a bowl, mix Cream Cheese with vanilla. Add coconut and mix well.<\/p>\n

Shape into 20 small balls and press lightly. Refrigerate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a double boiler and let cool.<\/p>\n

Dip half of each macaroon in the cooled melted chocolate, drain and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden chocolate.<\/p>\n

Arrange on a serving dish. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. To prevent chocolate from melting, keep away from heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
