Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Mix the egg whites: If using egg white powder, dissolve it with the water in a small bowl, then set aside.
  3. Whip the egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the Domino® Golden Sugar, whisking until stiff peaks form.
  4. Sift the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour and Domino® Powdered Sugar.
  5. Fold in the dry mix: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until combined.
  6. Color your mixture: Divide batter into two bowls and add gel food colorings as desired.
  7. Pipe the macaron shells: Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe onto prepared baking sheets.
  8. Let them rest: Allow macarons to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  9. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they have a slight sheen and lift off easily.
  10. Cool the macarons: Let them cool completely on the pan.
  11. Prepare the filling: Beat softened unsalted butter until fluffy, then mix in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
  12. Assemble the macarons: Pair up shells, pipe filling onto one shell, and press matching shell on top.
  13. Store and enjoy: Place assembled macarons in an airtight container and let rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

Notes
