Ingredients

For the filling.

Instructions

  • Start by sifting the almond flour and powdered sugar into a medium bowl. A food processor can also be used to get these into a very fine consistency.
    Also, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a clean mixing bowl and a mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until frothy ( about five minutes) and then add cream of tartar and beat for another minute.
  • Slowly add the granulated sugar alternative. Do this one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the ingredients. You can add the food coloring (four to five drops) at this time and continue to beat the ingredients until stiff peaks form.
  • Next, fold in the almond flour mixture from the first bowl, adding a third at a time, until all of ingredients have been combined.
  • Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe 1” macarons onto your baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between each.
  • Hold each individual tray a few inches off the counter and drop it straight down to release any air bubbles.
  • Set the macarons aside to rest for 20-30 minutes or until a skin has formed. While the macarons rest, preheat your oven to 300F (recommended that you use an oven thermometer).
  • Bake the macarons, one tray at a time, on the middle rack. Bake for 12-14 minutes, turning the tray halfway through baking.
    Allow the macarons to fully cool before assembling them.
  • To make the center filling beat the softened butter until fluffy. Then add the vanilla and the powdered sugar and continue beating until mixed. You can add milk as needed for consistency.
