Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Gel food coloring pastel colors
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Edible iridescent glitter for decoration
Instructions:
Adjust the oven temperature to 300F 150C and place parchment paper on two baking sheets
Pulverize the powdered sugar and almond flour in a food processor
Pulse until thoroughly combined, then sift to get rid of any lumps into a sizable mixing bowl
Whisk the egg whites in a different mixing bowl until frothy
After adding the cream of tartar, beat the mixture until soft peaks form
While beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy, gradually add the granulated sugar
Add vanilla extract and stir
Till everything is well combined, gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg white mixture
It's important to avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick and smooth
Pour the batter into individual bowls and color each one with a different pastel gel food coloring
Stir until the colors you want are achieved
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with each colored batter
Leaving space between each macaron, pipe tiny rounds onto the baking sheets that have been prepared
To remove air bubbles, tap the baking sheets against the counter
Allow the macarons to sit at room temperature for approximately half an hour in order to form a skin
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have risen, in a preheated oven
Take out and allow to cool on the baking sheets
Gently remove the macarons from the parchment paper once they have cooled
Sort them into pairs based on size, then stuff each pair with your preferred filling ganache or buttercream, for example
For a whimsical finishing touch, dust the filled macarons with iridescent edible glitter
Present and savor your macarons with iridescent pastel colors at the birthday or wedding celebration!
