Delightful fusion of rich chocolate and fruity strawberry flavors with a crispy shell and soft, chewy interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp strawberry extract
  • 6 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree
  • 1 tsp strawberry extract (optional)
  • Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse the powdered sugar and almond flour in a food processor until finely ground and sift.
  3. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold in the sifted mixture in batches, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add cocoa powder and strawberry extract, folding gently until incorporated.
  6. Pipe circles onto the prepared sheets and let rest for 30 minutes until dry to the touch.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until they develop feet and lift from the parchment.
  8. Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chopped white chocolate and stir until smooth. Add strawberry puree and optional extract.
  9. Assemble the macarons by filling one shell with ganache and sandwiching with another shell. Chill in fridge for 24 hours before serving.

Notes

Use aged egg whites for better stability. Weigh ingredients for consistency. You may swap strawberry puree for other fruit purees for different flavors.
