Ingredients:

• 110g almond flour
• 200g powdered sugar
• 100g egg whites aged for 24 hours
• 30g granulated sugar
• Gel food coloring assorted colors
• Buttercream or ganache filling of your choice

Instructions:

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together into a bowl

In a separate bowl, whip the aged egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form

Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until a smooth batter forms

Divide the batter into separate bowls and add gel food coloring to each bowl to create vibrant colors

Transfer each colored batter into a piping bag with a round tip

Pipe small, even circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet

Let them rest for 30-45 minutes to form a skin

Preheat your oven to 300F 150C

Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes until they have risen and have a firm shell

Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet

Once cooled, pair up macaron shells of similar size and pipe your chosen filling onto one shell before sandwiching with another

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving for the best flavor
