Indulge in these delightful strawberry cheesecake macarons that combine crispy shells with a creamy filling for a perfect treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup strawberries, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar in a bowl, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy; gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites. Add vanilla extract and food coloring if desired, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Pipe small circles onto the parchment paper using a piping bag. Let them sit for 30 minutes to an hour, until a skin forms on top.
  6. Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes. Once they are firm to the touch, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
  7. Make the filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  8. Fill the macaron shells with a generous amount of filling and sandwich them with another shell.
  9. Chill the macarons for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling to set.
  10. Garnish with fresh strawberries for an added touch of beauty and freshness.

Notes

Allowing the piped macarons to rest is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. Experiment with different flavor variations by substituting the strawberry puree with other fruits.
