Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 ¾ cups icing sugar
- 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup raspberry puree (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp rose water
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, whip room-temperature egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Sift almond flour and icing sugar together twice into a separate bowl. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between each.
- Let piped macarons rest for about 30 minutes until they form a skin. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they lift off easily.
- For the filling, beat softened butter until creamy, then mix in raspberry puree and rose water until smooth.
- Assemble by pairing macaron shells and filling with raspberry rose mixture.
