For the Macaroons
3
large
egg whites
free range
1
tbsp
strawberry jam
1
cup
almond flour
3
drops
red food colouring
1 ¾
cups
powdered sugar
¼
cup
granulated sugar
For the Filling
8
oz
cream cheese
soft
1
tbsp
strawberry jam
2
tbsp
milk
1
cup
powdered sugar
Instructions
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks
Pour the egg whites into a glass bowl and and whisk until light and frothy.
Gradually add the sugar whilst continuing to whisk until "stiff peaks" are formed.
Combine the Almond Flour and the powdered sugar and sieve into the the whisked egg whites.
Slowly fold the sugar and flour into the egg whites. If you rotate the bowl after every fold, the mixture should stay light.
Add the food colouring and mix very gently.
Add the mixture to a piping bag.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pipe a small disc onto the parchment leaving a space between each disc (using a circular motion seems to be the best way).
Once all of the mixture has been used, place the trays to one side for about an hour so they start to skin over.
Preheat the oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
In a clean bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk and mix until smooth. Then add the remaining strawberry jam and mix until combined.
Pour the mixture into a clean piping bag and ready to fill the macaroons.
Place the macaroons into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the have risen.
Once cooked, let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
Filling is very easy. Pipe a circular motion onto one half of a macaroon and sandwich with another macaroon.
You can add a bit of jam in the centre of each macaroon for added flavour.
Keep chilled until needed and enjoy.
