Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons

|
Tasty not overly sweet cheesecake macarons
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
* 3 egg whites, room temperature
|
|
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
|
|
* 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar (I personally put 1 1/2 or 1 1/3 to make less sweet)
|
|
* 1 cup superfine almond flour
|
|
* 3 drops of red food coloring (if wanted)
|
|
|
|
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
|
|
* 1 cup powdered sugar (I personally put 1/2 to make less sweet)
|
|
* 2 tablespoons milk
|
|
|
|
* strawberry jam
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
* baking sheet
|
|
* mixer
|
|
* mixing bowls
|
|
* parchment paper
|
|
* piping bag
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
1. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Slowly add sugar while beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
3. Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, add food coloring if desired.
|
|
4. Working quickly, put batter into the piping bag (you can use zip lock bag if you don't have a piping bag)
|
|
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a circular motion, pipe 1½-inch (4-cm) dollops onto the baking sheet.
|
|
6. Let the cookies rest for 1 hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
|
|
7. Preheat the oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
|
|
8. When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 13-15 minutes, until they have risen. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
|
|
|
|
1. Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth.
|
|
2. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill the cookies.
|
|
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
|
|
## Additional Notes
|
|
* Tip: use a little batter to “glue” down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put. Or use a special silicon baking sheet.
|
|
* Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
