Prep Time:
20 minutes
Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
25 Macarons
Ingredients
  • ½ cup hot heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chopped white chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon pistachio paste
  • 2 large egg whites
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • green food coloring (to reach desired shade)
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • ¾ cup almond flour
Directions
  1. Warm the heavy whipping cream in a pan, and heat the chopped white chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes to melt it.
  2. Add the hot heavy whipping cream to the white chocolate, and mix until smooth.
  3. Add the pistachio paste, and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Put in a piping bag, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until firm in texture.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they double in size.
  6. Slowly add the sugar to the fluffed-up egg whites in 3 parts, 30 seconds apart.
  7. Add the food coloring, to reach your desired shade of green, and mix until the color is uniform.
  8. Add the icing sugar and almond flour to the egg mix, and fold until fully incorporated — the macaron batter should fall off the spatula like a ribbon. Add to a second piping bag.
  9. Preheat oven to 320 F.
  10. Pipe the macarons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
  11. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the macarons.
  12. Cool down the macarons for 10 minutes before taking them off of the baking tray.
  13. Pair up the macarons shells, and pipe in pistachio filling, then close cookies.
