Macarons are one of my go-to desserts—they feel like such an indulgence, in such a tiny package—and for a while now I’ve had my eye on the raspberry-pistachio flavored macarons from Moloko Bakery, a tiny dessert business run by Irene Sardachuck. You can find Moloko Bakery on Instagram, where Sardachuck does business through her handle @moloko.bakery. (Orders are placed via direct message there too.) She makes a different flavor mix each week and sells the macarons in boxes of 10. I got four raspberry-pistachio macarons in the box I ordered, along with two Snickers, two Bounty and two raspberry-vanilla.
My family loved them all, from their perfectly delicate cookies to their sweet fillings. The Snickers flavor had a ribbon of salted caramel, and the Bounty flavor was a dream for anyone who loves coconut. But as I suspected, it was the subtle nuttiness and perfect hint of raspberry tartness that made me a full-fledged raspberry pistachio fan. Those tasty gems were worth every sweet little calorie.
