Melomacarona
Gluten free and lactose free Melomacarona!Ever since I was a kid, I've been crazy about Christmas treats. Whenever those days approached, I would go into the kitchen and together with grandma, we would make all kinds of delicacies. But at the same time, I would think about how we could alter them so I could taste them too. After years of searching for the right ingredients and experimenting in the kitchen, I'm happy to present you with my own melomacatona recipe. This recipe is tailored for my food intolerances but is also delicious. Try them yourself and you won't miss out. ☺️💝
