Indulge in the delightful flavors of vegan strawberry macarons. These delicate, gluten-free treats are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Enjoy the fruity goodness of strawberry jam sandwiched between two airy macaron shells.
Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 1 cup powdered sugar. 1/4 cup aquafaba liquid from a can of chickpeas. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract. Pink food coloring optional. Strawberry jam for filling. Powdered sugar for dusting.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 300F 150C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until well combined and fine in texture. In a mixing bowl, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar together until it forms stiff peaks. Gradually add granulated sugar to the aquafaba mixture while continuing to beat. Beat until it becomes glossy and stiff peaks form. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the aquafaba mixture, along with the strawberry extract and pink food coloring if desired. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; it should have a thick, ribbon-like consistency. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to form a skin. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the macarons have firm tops and lift easily from the parchment paper. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, spread a small amount of strawberry jam on the flat side of one macaron and sandwich it with another. Dust the tops with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve your vegan strawberry macarons!
