RASPBERRY MACARONS



Raspberry Macarons image

To make the raspberry puree for this traditional French cookie, just pulse a small handful of fresh berries in a food processor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 2h

Yield Makes 35

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup almond flour or finely ground almonds
2 large egg whites, room temperature
Pinch of cream of tartar
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 tablespoon fresh raspberry puree, strained
3 to 4 drops gel-paste food coloring, in Dusty Rose
3/4 cup homemade or store-bought berry jam

Steps:

  • Pulse confectioners' sugar and flour in a food processor until combined. Sift mixture 2 times.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk whites with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; whisk until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to low; add superfine sugar. Increase speed to high; whisk until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. Sift flour mixture over whites; fold until smooth and shiny. Fold in puree and food coloring.
  • Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip; pipe 3/4-inch rounds 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, dragging tip to sides rather than forming peaks. Tap sheets on work surface to release trapped air. Let stand for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake 1 sheet at a time, rotating halfway through, until crisp and firm, about 10 minutes. After each batch, increase oven to 375 degrees, heat for 5 minutes, then reduce to 325 degrees.
  • Let cool on sheets for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (If sticking, spray water between parchment and hot sheet. The steam will help release macarons.)
  • Sandwich 2 macarons with 1 teaspoon jam.

RASPBERRY MACARONS



Raspberry macarons image

Bake our heavenly raspberry macarons for afternoon tea, or as the final flourish for a dinner party. They taste as gorgeous as they look

Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large egg whites
300g icing sugar
pink or red food colouring
140g ground almonds
½ a 250g tub mascarpone
4-5 tbsp raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg whites in a large, clean bowl until soft peaks form. Whisk in the icing sugar in 3 or 4 batches, whisking well between each addition. Add a couple of drops of colouring with the final addition of sugar. Keep whisking until the mixture is light pink, with no streaks, and is thick and glossy, a bit like shaving foam.
  • Using a large metal spoon, gently fold through the ground almonds. Cover 4 baking sheets with baking parchment and dab a little of the mixture in the corners of each sheet to secure paper. If you don't have enough baking sheets, make and cook half the quantity, then repeat. Use 2 spoons or a piping bag fitted with a wide nozzle to make 40 circles, each about 5cm wide. Leave to sit out for about 10 mins until a skin starts to form.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the baking sheets in the oven, leaving the oven door slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, then bake for 20-25 mins until just crisp, but not browned. Leave to cool.
  • When ready to serve, gently ease off the paper with a palette knife. Carefully spread 1 tsp raspberry jam per biscuit over half of the biscuits and 1 tsp mascarpone per biscuit over the other halves, then gently sandwich together.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your macaron bars. Use fresh berries, butter, and eggs.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your macaron bars tough. Mix the batter until it is just combined.
  • Let the Batter Rest: After you mix the batter, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and make the batter easier to work with.
  • Bake the Macaron Bars Until They Are Just Set: The macaron bars are done baking when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the Macaron Bars Cool Completely: Before you cut and serve the macaron bars, let them cool completely. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Raspberry jam macaron bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty dessert, give raspberry jam macaron bars a try!
