Matcha Macarons Recipe
Green Tea Infused French Delight
Ingredients:
– 100 grams almond flour
– 100 grams powdered sugar
– 75 grams egg whites
– 65 grams granulated sugar
– 2 grams cream of tartar
– 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
– 200 grams white chocolate, finely chopped
– 100 ml heavy cream
Directions:
1. Prepare Macaron Shells:
– Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and matcha powder in a bowl.
– In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
– Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until well combined. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
– Pipe 1-inch rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tap the sheet on the counter to release air bubbles.
– Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
2. Bake Macarons:
– Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 17-20 minutes until set. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
3. Prepare White Chocolate Ganache:
– Heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Pour over the chopped white chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir gently until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator until thickened.
4. Assemble Macarons:
– Pair macaron shells of similar size. Pipe or spread the white chocolate ganache on one shell and sandwich with another.
