Yield Makes about 4 1/2 dozen sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 20

Macaroons:
1 (14-ounce) bag (5 1/3 cups) sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
Lime Curd:
1 tablespoon lime zest
3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 6 limes)
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 large egg yolks
1 drop green food coloring, if desired
Garnish:
Edible gold or silver glitter or clear sanding sugar (optional)
Special Equipment
Small offset spatula (optional, but very helpful); edible gold or silver glitter; a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag (not pleated)

Steps:

  • Make Macaroons:
  • Heat oven to 325°F with racks in upper and lower third. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir together coconut, sugar, flour, and salt until combined well, then add egg whites and almond extract and stir until combined well.
  • Pack dough in a teaspoon measure, preferably with offset spatula, scraping it level, then use spatula to remove dough from teaspoon in a single mound. Arrange mounds, rounded side up, 1 inch apart, on baking sheets.
  • Bake until just springy to the touch and bottoms are pale golden, 8 to 12 minutes, switching position of sheets halfway through baking.
  • Remove cookies from oven and sprinkle while still hot with edible glitter, if using. Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute, and transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Make Lime Curd:
  • Whisk together lime zest and juice, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan until cornstarch is dissolved, then whisk in butter. Bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, whisking constantly, then reduce heat and continue to simmer briskly, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Remove pan from heat.
  • Lightly beat yolks in a small bowl, then slowly add 1/4 cup lime mixture, whisking. Add yolk mixture to remaining lemon mixture, whisking, then cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then cover surface with wax paper and chill until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Assemble Cookies:
  • Transfer lime curd to plastic bag and press out excess air. Snip a 1/8-inch opening in bottom corner of bag, then twist bag firmly just above curd.
  • Put 1 cookie, flat side up, on work surface and pipe about 1/2 teaspoon lime curd onto cookie, then top with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich. Make more sandwiches in same manner.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE MACARONS RECIPE BY TASTY



Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: egg whites, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, superfine almond flour, red food coloring, cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, strawberry jam

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 macarons

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 egg whites, room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 cup superfine almond flour
3 drops red food coloring
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
strawberry jam

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Keep beating and slowly add the sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour over the egg whites. Fold the dry mixture into the egg whites, giving the bowl a quarter turn every third fold. Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, transfer half to another bowl and add the food coloring. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Working quickly, put the white and pink batters into separate small zip-top bags. Cut a corner off of each bag and squeeze the 2 batters evenly into a larger gallon-size bag or piping bag to create a multicolor effect.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Tip: use a little batter to "glue" down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put). In a circular motion, pipe 1½-inch (4-cm) dollops onto the baking sheet. Lift the baking sheet and gently tap on the counter to settle the batter. Let the cookies rest for 1 hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
  • Preheat the oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
  • Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill the cookies.
  • When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 13-15 minutes, until they have risen. Let them cool for 10 minutes. To fill, pipe a circle of the cream cheese mixture around the edge of 1 cookie and place a small dollop of jam in the center. Sandwich with another cookie. Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
1 15-ounce can cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap outside of 9 inch diameter springform pan with

  • Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

Transfer to rack and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Sprinkle remaining coconut around edge of cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the quality of your macarons. Use the best ingredients you can find, including almond flour, powdered sugar, egg whites, and butter.
  • Be precise with your measurements: Macarons are a delicate pastry, and it's important to be precise with your measurements. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, and be sure to level off your measuring cups.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your macarons tough. Mix the batter just until it is combined, and be careful not to overbeat the egg whites.
  • Let the macarons rest before baking: After you pipe the macarons, let them rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
  • Bake the macarons at a low temperature: Macarons should be baked at a low temperature, around 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from browning too much.
  • Store the macarons properly: Macarons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Macarons are a delicious and delicate pastry that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect macarons at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above and be patient. The results will be worth it!
