MACAROON

Food

THIS week I made my first macroon – WOHO – with lime and raspberry flavor! They turned out absolutely amazing (or at least flavor wise). I mean it will for sure take a while before I’m a pro but I think this was pretty good for being my first attempt. Check it out and let me know if you have any tips for the future macaroon fabrique!

Beat the egg whites (with absolutely NO egg yellows) with an electric beater until it’s frothy (lot’s of bubbles). Toss the grounded almond and icing sugar in a small blender. Mix it all and add wished caramel color – red for raspberry and green for lime.

Once satisfied with the color of the shells pipe the macaroons over fold and let it sit for a few minutes.

During this time heat oven to 150°C. Once ready, put your macaroons at the very bottom shelf. Bake for 6-10 minutes.

4. Make the ganache (just mix below ingredienses until your happy with the flavor – not too runny, not too hard).

5. Take out the macaroons from the oven and let them cool down before removing them. Pipe the raspberry and lime ganache on the macaroon shell respectively, close with another macaroon shell.
