• 1 electric mixer or whisk
• 1 sifter
• 1 rubber spatula
• 1 parchment paper
• 1 baking sheet
• 1 piping bag with round tip
• 1 saucepan
• 1 food processor (optional)

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
• 4 large egg whites About 120g total.
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup mixed berries Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• optional food coloring For a pastel hue.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar to remove lumps. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the whipped egg whites until combined. If desired, add food coloring to achieve a pastel hue.
• Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Pipe small circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

• Bake the macarons for 15 minutes until they rise and form feet. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• While the macarons cool, prepare the berry filling. In a saucepan, heat the mixed berries over medium heat until they soften. Mash them lightly with a fork.
• Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, fold in the whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Once the macarons have cooled, pair them up and spoon a dollop of berry filling on half of the shells. Top with the other macaron shells to create sandwiches.
