Equipment
- bowl
- Mixing spoon
- baking dish
Ingredients
- 5 Egg whites
- 3 cups Confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup White sugar
- Salt
- 1.5 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup Salted butter
- 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
- 2 cups mixed berries, frozen (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) drained and crushed
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C), placing a sheet of parchment paper or a Silpat mat on the baking tray ready for use.
- Using your stand mixer, mix together the confectioners’ sugar and salted butter until completely amalgamated. Now add in the white sugar and powdered sugar, blending on a low speed to combine all ingredients.
- Take another bowl and whisk together egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate cream of tartar as you continue to whisk.
- Carefully fold the meringue mixture into the sugar mixture.
- Gently blend in the crushed raspberries and almond flour until fully incorporated.
- Scoop generous spoonfuls of batter onto your lined baking tray, leaving a 1-inch gap between each macaron.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the bottom crisp. Then let cool before removing it from the baking sheet.
- Serve your macarons as they are, sprinkle them with some extra sugar if desired, add a drizzle of melted chocolate or fill them with some delicious buttercream to make them even more special.
Notes
-For best results, use fresh ingredients. If your raspberries are frozen or canned, make sure to drain and crush them before adding it to the mix.
-Be careful not to overmix the batter as this can cause it to become too runny.
-Allow the macarons to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
-Add a teaspoon of your favorite extracts like almond or vanilla for a different flavor twist.
If you find that your macarons are too sweet, try adding a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
