These delightful mango macarons feature a tropical mango-flavored almond shell filled with a delicate white jasmine tea ganache. The combination of sweet mango and fragrant jasmine tea creates a unique and sophisticated treat.

Ingredients: 150g almond flour. 150g powdered sugar. 2 large egg whites about 70g. 50g granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon mango extract. Yellow food coloring optional. 100g white chocolate. 50ml heavy cream. 1 teaspoon jasmine tea leaves. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.

Instructions: Turn the oven on to 300 degrees Fahrenheit 150 degrees Celsius and place parchment paper on a baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, sift almond flour and powdered sugar together. Put aside. Whisk the egg whites in a different bowl until frothy. Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating the mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form. To the egg white mixture, add the mango extract and a few drops of yellow food coloring if desired. Gently fold in the almond flour mixture until well combined and smooth. Spoon the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, then pipe tiny circles onto the baking sheet that has been ready. Give each macaron shell some space. After removing any air bubbles by tapping the baking sheet on the counter a few times, allow the macarons to sit at room temperature for approximately half an hour in order for a skin to form. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed feet, in a preheated oven. Leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely. Make the white jasmine tea ganache while the macarons are cooling. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. After removing from the heat, steep the jasmine tea leaves for five minutes under a cover. Put the cream back in the saucepan after straining the tea leaves. In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter and white chocolate. Return the cream to a simmer and pour it onto the butter and white chocolate. After a minute, stir until smooth and thoroughly mixed. Allow the ganache to reach room temperature and develop a slight thickening. After that, chill for roughly half an hour to get a pipeable consistency. Based on their sizes, pair the macaron shells, then pipe a tiny bit of the white jasmine tea ganache onto one half of each pair. Place the macarons gently one inside the other. To allow the flavors to meld, place the filled macarons in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Savor your mouthwatering White Jasmine Tea Ganache with Mango Macarons!
