Ingredients:

• 200g almond flour


• 200g powdered sugar


• 100g egg whites aged for 24 hours


• 50g granulated sugar


• 1/2 tsp strawberry extract


• 1/2 tsp passion fruit extract


• A hint of vanilla extract


• Pink food coloring optional

Instructions:

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together in a bowl

In a separate bowl, beat the aged egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form

Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites in three parts, using gentle, circular motions

Add the strawberry and passion fruit extracts, and a hint of vanilla extract to the batter

Add pink food coloring if desired

Continue folding until the batter reaches a lava-like consistency

Pipe small circles of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Tap the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles, and let the macarons rest for 30-45 minutes to form a skin

Preheat your oven to 300F 150C

Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they have developed feet and are firm to the touch

Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet

Once cooled, fill with your favorite strawberry and passion fruit buttercream, and sandwich them together
