White Chocolate Raspberry Macarons: A Delightful French Dessert
White Chocolate Raspberry Macarons are a classic French dessert that is perfect for any occasion. These delicate and delicious treats are made with almond flour, egg whites, sugar, and a creamy white chocolate and raspberry filling. This recipe yields 12 macarons.
Ingredients:
For the macarons:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pink food coloring
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 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.
- Let the macarons cool completely before filling them.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour and powdered sugar.
3. 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 holds stiff peaks.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture until fully combined. Add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until the batter is evenly colored.
5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe 24 small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
7. Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and slightly golden. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
8. To make the filling, heat the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler until melted and smooth. Stir in the raspberry jam.
9. Pair the macarons by size and spread a small amount of filling on one half. Top with the other half and gently press together.
10. Serve and enjoy!
