Ingredients:
- 2 peaches
- 150g almond flour
- 150g powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 50g granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp strawberry extract
- Red food coloring optional
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Turn the oven on to 300 degrees Fahrenheit 150 degrees Celsius and place parchment paper on a baking sheet
In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar; pulse to mix thoroughly
To get rid of any lumps, sift the almond sugar mixture into a sizable mixing bowl
Beat the egg whites in a different bowl until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the powdered sugar as you beat
To create a smooth, thick batter, gently fold the egg white mixture into the almond sugar mixture
Stir in the strawberry extract, lemon zest, and a few drops of red food coloring, if using
Fold gently until thoroughly combined
Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, then pipe tiny rounds onto the baking sheet that has been ready
Give each macaron some space
After popping any air bubbles on the baking sheet with your fingers, leave the macarons to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes so that a skin forms
The macarons should be baked for 15 to 18 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they are set and have formed feet
While the macarons cool, make the filling by blending together powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, softened butter, and chopped strawberries until smooth
Once the macarons are completely cool, divide them into pairs based on size, then top one half of each pair with a tiny dollop of strawberry filling
To allow the flavors to meld, sandwich the macarons together and chill for a few hours before serving
Savor your delicious macarons with strawberry lemonade and a touch of peach and lemon zest!
