PISTACHIO
MACARONS
Ingredients
- ½ cup hot heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chopped white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon pistachio paste
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ cup sugar
- green food coloring (to reach desired shade)
- 1 cup icing sugar
- ¾ cup almond flour
DIRECTIONS
- Warm the heavy whipping cream in a pan and heat the chopped white chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes to melt it.
- Add the hot heavy whipping cream to the white chocolate and mix until smooth.
- Add the pistachio paste and mix until fully incorporated.
- Put in a piping bag, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until firm in texture.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they double in size.
- Slowly add the sugar to the fluffed-up egg whites in 3 parts, 30 seconds apart.
- Add the food coloring, to reach your desired shade of green, and mix until the color is uniform.
- Add the icing sugar and almond flour to the egg mix, and fold until fully incorporated — the macaron batter should fall off the spatula like a ribbon. Add to a second piping bag.
- Preheat oven to 320 F.
- Pipe the macarons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the macarons.
- Cool down the macarons for 10 minutes before taking them off of the baking tray.
- Pair up the macarons shells, and pipe in pistachio filling, then close cookies.
