Ingredients
  

Raspberry Macaron Shells

  • 1 cup (100g) almond flour spooned and leveled
  • 7/8 cup (105g) powdered sugar spooned and leveled
  • 3 large (100g) egg whites room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp raspberry extract
  • 3 drops of red Gel food coloring
  • 3 drops of pink Gel food coloring
  • 1-2 drops of black Gel food coloring

White Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 oz heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup (4oz) white chocolate chips

Raspberry Filling

  • 1/4 cup (60mL) raspberry jam

Instructions
 

Macaron Shells

  • Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar and set them aside.
    1 cup (100g) almond flour, 7/8 cup (105g) powdered sugar
  • Heat up a small pot of water on the stove to create a double boiler for the Swiss meringue. Whisk the egg whites and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer over the double boiler until the sugar is fully dissolved and the egg whites are frothy (about 120F or 49C).
    3 large (100g) egg whites, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • Remove the mixture from the heat and use the whisk attachment, on high speed, to beat the egg whites and sugar just until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add in the raspberry extract, red, pink, and black food coloring and mix for a few seconds, until they are fully incorporated.
    1 tsp raspberry extract, 3 drops of red Gel food coloring, 3 drops of pink Gel food coloring, 1-2 drops of black Gel food coloring
  • Use a firm spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the meringue. This may take a while, just keep folding and pressing the batter against the wall of the bowl until the mixture is able to ribbon off and form a complete figure '8' without breaking. Don't over-mix.
  • Using a pastry bag, with a small circle tip, pipe out 1 1/2 inch size circles onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Rap tray on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles from within the batter (use a toothpick to remove any air bubbles that are visible and won’t come out).
  • Allow the cookies to rest while preheating the oven to 300F (149C) conventional (no fan). Bake one pan at a time in the center of the oven for 13 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.

White Chocolate Ganache

  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, just until it begins to simmer (not boil).
    1 oz heavy whipping cream
  • Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips, cover the bowl for 1-2 minutes and then stir slowly until it’s smooth.
    2/3 cup (4oz) white chocolate chips
  • Allow it to cool just a few minutes until it’s pipe-able and not too runny.

Assemble

  • Use a piping bag with a small round tip to pipe ganache a border of ganache onto one cookie shell, fill it with raspberry jam and then sandwich it with another cookie of the same size. It’s easier to do one at a time so that the ganache doesn’t dry out by the time you sandwich them together.
    1/4 cup (60mL) raspberry jam
  • Allow them to set in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving. Enjoy!
