Raspberry Cheesecake Macarons

Raspberry Cheesecake Macarons are a delectable dessert that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of raspberry with the creamy richness of cheesecake. These macarons are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special celebration or just a sweet treat for yourself.
To make these Raspberry Cheesecake Macarons, you will need the following ingredients:

For the macarons:

- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pink food coloring

For the cheesecake filling:

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
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 form stiff peaks. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
Fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture, being careful not to overmix. Add in a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until the batter is a pale pink color. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have formed a "foot" around the edges. Let the macarons cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
To make the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Fold in the raspberry jam until well combined.
To assemble the macarons, pair up the shells by size and spread a small amount of the cheesecake filling onto one half of each pair. Sandwich the two halves together and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
These Raspberry Cheesecake Macarons are a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a creamy and rich texture that will leave you wanting more. They are perfect for any occasion and are sure to impress your guests.
