Indulge in the rich and aromatic delight of Black Coffee Macarons. These delicate treats perfectly balance the boldness of coffee with the sweetness of a macaron.
Ingredients: 150g almond flour. 150g powdered sugar. 110g egg whites. 50g granulated sugar. 2 tsp black coffee powder. 1/4 tsp salt. Black gel food coloring. Coffee-flavored ganache for filling.
Instructions: Put parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet. Use a sieve to mix the powdered sugar and almond flour together in a bowl. Whip the egg whites in a different bowl until they are foamy. Add the granulated sugar slowly and whip until stiff peaks form. Mix the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites slowly until they are just combined. Add a few drops of water to a small bowl and mix black coffee powder to make a paste. Mix the coffee paste and salt into the macaron batter by folding it in slowly. Add a few drops of black gel food coloring and mix it in until it's the color you want. Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the batter. Place small rounds on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Do not bake the macarons yet. Wait about 30 minutes for a skin to form on top of them. Prepare the oven by heating it up to 300F 150C. The macarons should be baked for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are set and can be easily taken off the baking sheet. Take them out of the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them. Put together macaron shells that are the same size and shape. Get the coffee-flavored ganache filling ready. On the flat side of one macaron shell, pipe or spread a small amount of ganache. Then, put another shell between them and sandwich them together. Put the filled macarons in a container that won't let air in and put it in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours. This will give the flavors time to blend. Before you serve, let the macarons cool down to room temperature. Enjoy your Black Coffee Macarons that you made yourself!
