Raspberry Macarons


Polyamorous Portland

These Raspberry Macarons are a delightful treat with a burst of fruity flavor. Perfect for special occasions or simply indulging your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 300F 150C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a food processor, combine almond flour and confectioners sugar

Pulse until well combined and fine in texture

Sift the almond flour mixture into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form

Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form

Gently fold the sifted almond flour mixture into the egg whites until well incorporated

Add a few drops of pink food coloring if desired, and a pinch of salt

Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip

Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart

Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they develop a slight crust on top

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have developed feet the ruffled edges

While the macarons are baking, prepare the raspberry filling

In a small saucepan, heat the fresh raspberries over low heat, mashing them as they cook

Once they break down and release juice, strain the mixture to remove seeds

Let it cool

In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and the raspberry puree until you have a smooth, pink-colored filling

Once the macarons have cooled, pair them up based on size and shape

Pipe the raspberry filling onto one macaron shell and gently sandwich it with another shell

Let the raspberry macarons rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together

Serve your delicious Raspberry Macarons and enjoy
