Looking for a sweet and indulgent dessert that will satisfy your cravings? Look no further than these Raspberry White Chocolate Macaroons! This delectable treat is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors that will leave you wanting more.
Ingredients (makes 12 macaroons):
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
Cooking Tips:
- Use room temperature egg whites for best results.
- Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together to ensure a smooth texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can cause the macaroons to spread too much.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and powdered sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating until glossy and stiff.
5. Fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture until just combined.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe 24 small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the macaroons are set and lightly golden.
8. Allow the macaroons to cool completely on the baking sheet.
9. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
10. Spread a small amount of raspberry jam onto the flat side of half of the macaroons, then sandwich them together with the remaining macaroons.
11. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted white chocolate, then place them on a wire rack to set.
