Ingredients list for Christmas Macaroons
- 1 1/2 cups Icing sugar (230 grams)
- 1 cup Almond flour (120 grams)
- 4 Eggs (140 grams)
- to taste Salt
- 1/3 cup Castor sugar (70 grams)
- few drops Edible red food colour
- to garnish Melted white chocolate
- as required Butter cream icing

Method
- Take icing sugar and almond flour in a bowl and break the lumps if any. Sift the mixture through a strainer into another bowl.
- Separate egg whites and yolks and put into two separate bowls.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric blender till frothy. Add a pinch of salt and castor sugar gradually and keep beating till stiff peaks form. Add some red colour and mix well.
- Add ¼ egg white mixture to almond flour mixture and fold in gently. Add the remaining egg white mixture and fold in till everything is well incorporated. Transfer mixture in a piping bag.
- Keep a silicon macaroon sheet on a baking tray and pipe out the mixture into the dents.
- Place a mat over the chopping board and place the tray and tap a little so that the air gaps are filled. Dampen fingers with water and lightly tap the risen peaks to flatten them. Set aside for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Keep the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Take the tray out and let the macaroons cool down to room temperature.
- Fill the melted white chocolate in a piping bag and the butter cream icing in another piping bag.
- Place parchment paper on a serving plate, place half macaroons on it and pipe out melted white chocolate on top in a crisscross pattern on them. Garnish with edible green crystals and silver balls. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- Keep the remaining half of the macaroons upside down on the worktop. Pipe out the butter cream icing on them. Cover with the garnished macaroons and serve.
