Ingredients
- For the macarons
- 60 grams ground almonds (blanched)
- 110 grams powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 20 grams sugar
- ½ tsp Orange zest
- Food coloring (orange)
- For the filling
- 60 grams butter (room temperature)
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- 4 Tbsps Maple syrup
- 3 Tbsps Almond butter
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 150°C (approximately 300°F).
For the macarons, grind the almonds with the powdered sugar and sift through a fine sieve onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes and let cool.
Beat egg whites until stiff, then sprinkle in the sugar and beat until glossy. Fold in the orange zest and tint light orange with a few drops of food coloring. Fold in the almond mixture. Place mixture in a piping bag and pipe about 30 portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let dry about 1 hour. Then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet and let cool.
For the filling, cream the butter until fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar, maple syrup and almond butter. Transfer filling to a piping bag with a plain nozzle. Pipe filling onto the underside of half of the macarons and top with a second macaron, using light pressure to adhere.
