Macaron is a delicate French dessert made of cream, jam or chocolate sandwiched between two marzipan cookies. This dessert is characterized by a crunchy exterior and soft interior, with a rich, full-flavored texture. The preparation of macarons requires precise recipes and techniques to ensure that the cookies form their typical feet (“pied”) when baked in the oven and remain fluffy and crunchy in texture. Macarons come in a variety of flavors and colors, with common flavors including chocolate, vanilla, coffee, raspberry, and lemon. In addition, one can create a wide variety of colors by adding food coloring to make macarons even more appealing. This dessert is often used as a delicious treat for special occasions such as weddings, birthday parties and holiday celebrations. Macarons are also often used to celebrate Mother’s Day as a unique gift and dessert. Mother’s Day is a special day to show appreciation for mothers and motherhood, and delicate macarons are a delicious option that can show love and appreciation for your mother. Therefore, making a batch of delicious macarons, or giving them as a Mother’s Day gift, is a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate this special holiday.

What are the benefits of Macaron?

Macarons are usually small desserts, so when eaten in moderation, they can satisfy the taste buds of a sweet tooth without consuming too much sugar or calories. In addition, macarons are usually made with almond flour and are therefore rich in protein and fat, as well as being a gluten-free food option for some people with gluten sensitivities or those seeking a gluten-free diet. And it’s common to make macarons using kitchenware such as ovens, mixers and baking paper, which makes the process relatively simple and doesn’t require much special equipment.

Step 1:

Combine almond flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in a large bowl, sifting to remove any lumps.
Create a paste by mixing in 3 egg whites, then set it aside.

Step 2:

In a pot, combine granulated sugar and water, heating it until it reaches 238°F.
Whip the remaining 4 egg whites until medium peaks form.
Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while whisking until fully incorporated.
Continue whisking until the meringue is smooth, shiny, and still slightly warm.
Optionally, add food coloring to achieve your desired hue.

Step 3:

Gradually fold the meringue into the almond mixture until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Pipe the batter onto parchment-lined trays and let them dry for 30 minutes before baking at 300°F for 15-20 minutes.

Step 4:

Combine water and 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a pot, heating it to 238°F without stirring.
In a stand mixer bowl, whisk egg whites and salt until frothy, then gradually add the remaining sugar until medium-stiff peaks form.
Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while whisking until fully combined.

Step 5:

Beat until the mixture has doubled in size and cooled to around 72-75°F.
