If you're looking for a unique and delicious dessert that will impress your guests, look no further than Maple Bacon Macaroons. These sweet and savory treats are the perfect combination of crispy bacon, sweet maple syrup, and delicate macaroon shells.
To make these delectable macaroons, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
To start, preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy, then add the granulated sugar and cream of tartar. Continue to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Next, fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture until fully combined. Add the crumbled bacon and maple syrup, and gently fold until evenly distributed.
Using a piping bag or spoon, pipe the macaroon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small circles. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles, then let the macaroons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake the macaroons for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.
