Ingredients
- Ground Almonds 5 oz
- Egg white 2 pieces
- Cocoa Powder 2 spoons
- Powdered Sugar 5 oz
- Instant coffee ½ spoons
- Lemon ½ pieces
- Chicken Egg 1 piece
- Sugar 0 oz
- Butter 0 oz
- Potato protein 1 tablespoon
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Aging the egg whites at room temperature for 24 hours.
Step 2
Sift the powdered sugar with the prepared almond flour twice. Place the mixture in the oven to dry at 300°F for 10 minutes, then sift again. Add cocoa and coffee on top.
Step 3
Whip the egg whites, then add the sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Sift the dry ingredients over the egg whites in three stages. Gently fold with a spatula in one direction, from top to bottom.
Step 5
Pipe the circles onto parchment paper and let them sit at room temperature for one hour. Preheat the oven to 340°F for 20 minutes before baking.
Step 6
Before placing the macarons in the oven, lower the temperature to 300°F. Select the 'top and bottom heat' setting. Bake them for 12-14 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the dessert and, along with the parchment, place it on a damp towel to allow the almond cookies to cool.
Step 8
Now it's time to prepare the cream. I've chosen lemon, as it complements the sweetness of the macarons perfectly.
Step 9
Add the lemon zest to the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Then add the beaten egg and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Incorporate the butter, add the starch, and refrigerate to cool.
Step 10
That's it: once the halves are glued together, it's recommended to place the finished items in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After a day, they will be incredibly beautiful.
