Preparation
- For the macarons: Eiweiss mit Salz und Zucker steif schlagen.
- Combine the almonds with the baking powder and icing sugar. Fold the almond mixture, together with the food colouring, into the beaten egg whites.
- Fill the dough into a piping bag and pipe 3/4 inch circles onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Gently tap the baking sheet a few times on the work surface to release trapped air. Allow to settle for 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °F for approx. 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
- For the filling: whisk the unchilled QimiQ Classic smooth.
- Whisk the butter until frothy. Add the QimiQ Classic and remaining ingredients and mix well. Important: all ingredients should have the same temperature!
- Fill the mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto the flat side of one macaron and sandwich together with another. Repeat the procedure with the remaining macarons.
- The macarons can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
