Instructions

 

For The Shells:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• In a food processor or blender, pulse the almond flour and powdered sugar until well combined and fine in texture.
• Sift the mixture into a mixing bowl and discard any large bits that remain.
• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy.
• Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
• Add the food coloring, if using, and mix until well combined.
• Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg white mixture in three additions. Use a spatula to gently fold until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
• Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.
• Pipe 1 1/2 inch circles either onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch between each circle; or onto the macaron mat placed on the baking sheet.
• Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface to release any air bubbles.
• Let the shells rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skin forms on the top.
• Bake the shells for 15-18 minutes, or until they are firm and can be lifted off the parchment paper. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.

For The Filling:

• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the butter.
• Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and mix until well combined.
• Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.

For The Macarons:

• Pipe the filling onto the bottom of one macaron shell, and sandwich with another shell.
• Repeat until all shells are filled.
• Chill the macarons in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
