The calendar says its spring, but the temperature went downwards to 26 final night.  I mean value nosotros all take (and want) a picayune sunshine thence fingers crossed for improve weather!  There is nix I tin give notice produce most the weather condition or the temperature but I tin give notice percentage some boundary colored Macarons alongside White Chocolate Mint Ganache alongside my favorite virtual friends! It has been a long, long fourth dimension since I’ve made these fun picayune egg white cookies, I wasn’t certain I nonetheless remembered.

 

As mentioned inwards previous posts I’ve tried 2 unlike methods for making macarons.  The first, a French method, was my favorite until I tried the Italian method.  For some argue this 1 is much easier for me.  The batter does non deflate every bit chop-chop in addition to seems sturdy.  First combine the almond flour in addition to confectioners’ saccharide inwards a large bowl in addition to add together half of the egg whites.  Fold together to cast a glue in addition to laid aside.

 

Combine granulated saccharide inwards a pocket-sized saucepan alongside a pocket-sized amount of water.  Bring the mixture to a boil in addition to maintain cooking until it reached 239 degrees.  Beat the remaining egg whites inwards the bowl of a stand upwards mixer in addition to 1 time soft peaks form, slow drizzle the hot saccharide mixture into the bowl alongside the mixer running.  This is a lot similar making homemade marshmallows.  Beat until rigid peaks cast in addition to thence flexure inwards one-half the almond flour mixture.  Once combined, gently flexure inwards the remaining one-half of the almond flour.

 

I took a serial of photos to assistance demonstrate you lot the development of the batter consistency.   Continue to gently flexure the mixture until it is polish in addition to drizzles off the spatula dorsum into the bowl.  The batter should blend dorsum into itself later a few minutes, if it does not, flexure it a few to a greater extent than times.  You are basically thinning the batter without completely deflating the meringue.

Before starting the cookies,  I prepared 3 pieces of parchment newspaper alongside a pocket-sized egg shaped cookie cutter (2.5″ x 1.5″) traced every bit a template.  You tin give notice brand whatever shape but since I’ll be matching 2 pieces together alongside icing inwards the middle, it helps to guide hold cookies that are the same size.

 

I divided the batter into 3 bowls in addition to added gel nutrient color.  I’m non a large fan of artificial nutrient color, but it’s Easter in addition to green, xanthous in addition to blueish cookies are mandatory 🙂

 

Pipe the batter onto the prepared parchment in addition to allow them to remainder for thirty – lx minutes. During this resting menses the cookies cast a shell which is essential if you lot wish them to guide hold “feet”.  Bake for most xviii minutes in addition to thence cool completely earlier filling.  I made a super like shooting fish in a barrel white chocolate ganache alongside mint extract for the filling.

 

Please ignore my “less than perfect” travail at decorating!  I don’t role Royal Icing really ofttimes in addition to it’s been years since I decorated Easter Eggs.  But I had such a lovely fourth dimension playing inwards the kitchen.

 

I sprinkled a picayune sanding saccharide on the sides where the icing meets the border of the cookie for a picayune extra bling in addition to sparkle.

 

Macarons are best later they guide hold aged for 24-48 hours.  Bring to room temperature for at to the lowest degree an hr earlier serving! Enjoy 🙂
