Print Recipe

Delicate and airy pink macarons with a smooth, creamy filling, perfect for an elegant dessert or special occasion treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pink gel food coloring
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together to remove lumps.
  2. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. Add a few drops of pink gel food coloring and gently fold into the egg whites.
  5. Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites carefully to form a smooth batter.
  6. Transfer batter into a piping bag and pipe small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Tap the baking sheet to release air bubbles and let macarons rest for 30-40 minutes until a skin forms.
  8. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake macarons for 15-18 minutes; let cool completely.
  9. For the filling, beat butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  10. Pipe filling onto one macaron shell and sandwich with another; refrigerate before serving.

Notes

For best results, let macarons mature in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving to develop flavor and texture.
