Author: The Chef
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
- 1 ¾ cups (280 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (100 g) superfine almond flour
- 3 drops red food coloring
FILLING
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, 1 package
- 1 cup (160 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.
- Keep beating and slowly add sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Sift powdered sugar and almond flour over the egg whites.
- Fold the dry mixture into the egg whites, giving the bowl a quarter turn every third fold. Make sure to not overmix or the macarons will not rise.
- Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, transfer half the batter to another bowl and add the food coloring. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Working quickly, put the white and pink batters into separate sandwich bags. Cut the corner off of each bag and squeeze the two batters evenly into a larger gallon-size bag or piping bag to create the multicolor effect.
- Pipe 1½-inch (4 cm) dollops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (Tip: take a little batter to “glue:” down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put).
- Let the cookies rest for 30 minutes to an hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
- While resting, make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill.
- When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 13 to 15 minutes until they have risen to form a “foot.”
- Let rest for 10 minutes before filling. To fill, pipe a circle of the cream cheese mixture around the edge of one cookie and place a small dollop of jam in the center. Sandwich with another macaron.
- Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
- Enjoy!
