Ingredients
Scale
100 grams of almond flour
200 grams of powdered sugar
3 large egg whites (at room temperature)
½ teaspoon of cream of tartar
50 grams of granulated sugar
Red gel food color
115 grams of unsalted butter (softened)
240 grams of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep Your Workspace: Start by lining your baking sheets with parchment paper. You can trace heart shapes on the underside of the parchment.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the almond flour and powdered sugar until well combined.
Make the Meringue: Beat the egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar and gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Add Color: Gently fold in the gel food color until evenly colored.
Fold the Mixtures: Carefully fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue in thirds until the batter falls off the spatula in thick ribbons.
Pipe the Macarons: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe heart shapes on the lined sheets, tapping to release air bubbles.
Rest the Macarons: Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to form a light skin.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes.
Cool Completely: Let them cool on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
Make the Buttercream: Beat the softened butter until fluffy, add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble the Macarons: Pair up macaron shells by size, pipe buttercream on one and sandwich with another shell.
