NUT-FREE MACARONS



Nut-Free Macarons image

The problem that I identified was that French macarons are almost always baked with almond flour, and so many people with tree nut allergies, counting me, are affected by this problem, because we can't eat freshly baked French macarons from a pastry shop. This is problematic, because I've always wanted to try a French macaron, since my sisters have tried them and told me that they taste really good, and I was jealous.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup confectioners' sugar
¾ cup coconut flour
3 egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 cup raspberries
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Sift in coconut flour.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until white and foamy. Add white sugar slowly. Beat until mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  • Sift the coconut flour mixture into the egg whites, a few tablespoons at a time, folding after each addition. Batter should be thick and gooey and able to fall off a spoon slowly like lava.
  • Fit a piping bag with a coupler and a tip. Drop piping bag tip-down into a tall glass and fold edges down around the glass. Spoon batter into the bag. Gather edges and twist together.
  • Holding the tip at a 90 degree angle, pipe batter onto a greased baking sheet to form individual macaron shells. Tap baking sheet onto a countertop to remove air bubbles. Let sit until dry, 15 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Puree raspberries in a food processor, adding water if using frozen raspberries. Strain out the seeds using a fine-mesh strainer.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 the confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Add the remaining 1/2 and beat until creamy. Add raspberry puree and heavy cream; mix well to make the frosting.
  • Spoon a small amount of frosting over the flat side of a macaron shell; cap with another shell. Repeat with the remaining filling and shells.

How To Make Macarons Recipe by Tasty image

It's never a bad time for dessert. Cookies, cake, pie, you name it! But sometimes you need to change it up with something a little fancier: enter macarons. They may seem intimidating but with our easy-to-follow guide, they don't have to be. And you can customize them! Want a variety? Use different types of food coloring. Prefer a different flavored icing? Add some lavender extract for a floral feel. One bite, and you'll feel like you're in Paris yourself.

Time 1h50m

Yield 30 macarons

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 cup almond flour, finely ground
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3 egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops pink gel food coloring
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out).
  • Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
  • Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
  • Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
  • Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
  • Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don't stick to the parchment paper.
  • Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.
  • Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to "bloom".
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your macarons are the perfect consistency.
  • Let your egg whites come to room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up to stiff peaks more easily.
  • Be careful not to overmix your batter. Overmixing can make your macarons tough.
  • Pipe your macarons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help them keep their shape.
  • Bake your macarons at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them dry out and develop a crispy shell.
  • Let your macarons cool completely before you fill them. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Use a variety of fillings to create different flavored macarons. Some popular fillings include chocolate ganache, buttercream, and jam.
  • Conclusion:

    Macarons are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this recipe, you can easily make your own nut-free macarons at home. Experiment with different flavors and fillings to create your own unique macarons. Enjoy the recipe!
