Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare dry ingredients

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together in a large bowl.

2
Make meringue

In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and gradually add granulated sugar. Whip to stiff peaks.

3
Add vanilla

Fold vanilla extract into the meringue.

4
Combine dry and wet ingredients

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue until the batter flows like lava.

5
Divide and color batter

Divide batter into three parts. Leave one plain, add cocoa powder to one, and strawberry powder to the last. Mix gently.

6
Pipe macarons

Transfer each batter to a piping bag. Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

7
Rest macarons

Let macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on top.

8
Bake macarons

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake macarons for 15-18 minutes, rotating halfway through.

9
Cool macarons

Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets.

10
Prepare vanilla buttercream

Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Mix until smooth.

11
Make chocolate ganache

Heat 2 tablespoons heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

12
Prepare strawberry filling

Melt white chocolate. Blend freeze-dried strawberries into a powder. Mix strawberry powder into melted white chocolate.

13
Assemble macarons

Match macaron shells by size. Pipe vanilla buttercream onto vanilla shells, chocolate ganache onto chocolate shells, and strawberry filling onto strawberry shells. Sandwich with matching tops.

14
Rest and serve

Let macarons rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to develop flavors and texture.
