Indulge in the delicate and delightful world of French Macarons with a luscious marshmallow frosting. These sweet treats are perfect for special occasions and will leave your taste buds craving for more.
Ingredients: 2 cups almond flour. 2 cups powdered sugar. 3 large egg whites. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup marshmallow fluff. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup powdered sugar for frosting. Food coloring optional. Sprinkles for decoration optional.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C. Pulse almond flour and powdered sugar in a food processor until thoroughly mixed. Transfer the blend into a spacious mixing basin and keep it aside. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a different bowl until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating the mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir in vanilla extract and stir until well combined. To create a smooth batter, gently fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture. At this point, you can optionally add food coloring and fold until the color is uniform. Pour the batter into a bag fitted with a round tip for piping. Pipe tiny circles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow the macarons to sit at room temperature for approximately half an hour, or until a layer of skin forms on top. Bake the macarons for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are set and have a slight crunch, in the preheated oven. Take them out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely. Beat softened butter and marshmallow fluff together in a separate mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed and fluffy. Add powdered sugar gradually while beating to create a smooth frosting. After the macarons cool, sandwich one macaron shell with another after pipetting a tiny bit of marshmallow frosting onto its flat side. Continue with every macaron. Roll the frosting's edges in sprinkles for decoration if you'd like. To allow the flavors to meld, place the macarons in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
