Pink Macaron
Delicate and colorful, these Pink Macarons are a classic French treat made with almond flour, meringue shells, and a sweet, creamy filling. Perfect for gifting, parties, or indulging at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
- 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- A few drops pink gel food coloring
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttercream or jam filling of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together and set aside.
- Beat egg whites until foamy, gradually add granulated sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and food coloring.
- Fold dry ingredients into meringue gently until the batter flows like lava and forms ribbons.
- Pipe circles onto prepared sheets using a piping bag. Tap trays to release air bubbles and let rest for 30–45 minutes until a skin forms.
- Bake for 14–16 minutes. Let cool completely before removing.
- Pair similar-sized shells and pipe filling on one side. Sandwich gently and refrigerate for best results.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring to avoid thinning the batter.
- Resting is crucial for smooth tops and proper rise.
- Refrigerate macarons overnight for better texture and flavor blending.
