I actually just winged a keto recipe for macarons today
I know that keto sweeteners are super sweet so I reduced the amount
I didn't powder it, since it was small enough to go through the mesh, maybe I should have, because the crystals persisted in the cookies..
The workflow was to mix the drys with half of the egg whites, then fold in the merengue.
Made sort of a swiss meringue instead of Italian since I didn't know how an erythritol syrup would behave.
As you did, I found that the amount of the merengue was not enough to achieve the correct consistency, so I added 2 raw egg whites, which gave me a less runny batter than I should have gotten, but still piped okay.
The texture was grainy and a but dry, but I still got a drying effect after an hour.
They baked without feet, but with good texture and not too sweet to want to throw them in the trash 😂
There is still a few attempts ahead before I can call them macarons, but maybe there's hope 😅

Thanks for the video. I recently tried my standard macaron recipe that works really well here in Colorado and subbed Swerve Confectioners sugar for powdered sugar (my boyfriend is diabetic). All looked okay until I realized they weren't drying. I let them sit out nearly 2 hours before I gave up and baked them. To say they were awful is an understatement; flat, sticky, and ungodly sweet. After watching a ton of videos, I am wondering if adding powdered egg whites, as Pies and Tacos does sometimes, would help them dry and develop feet since sugar is hydrophilic. Also, I have noticed that sugar substitutes tend to be oversweet in baking so I always add less. I'll be watching this channel with hope that you find a good recipe!

Thanks for sharing. I have failed several times now lol. I was just diagnosed with diabetes so I was looking for a macron recipe I could use but none of them have worked for me... did you end up finding one that works?

Thanks so much I was just about to try the same recipe. So glad I came across your video because the ingredients are very expensive.
