And what better way to enjoy your daily dose of caffeine than with a delicious coffee macaron? In this post, we'll be sharing a mouth-watering recipe for coffee macarons that will have you craving for more. So, let's get started!
Ingredients: For the macaron shells:
-
150g ground almonds
-
150g powdered sugar
-
100g egg whites (about 3 large eggs)
-
50g granulated sugar
-
1 tsp instant coffee powder
For the coffee buttercream filling:
-
100g unsalted butter, room temperature
-
200g powdered sugar
-
1 tsp instant coffee powder
-
2 tsp milk
Instructions:
-
In a food processor, grind the almonds and powdered sugar together until fine. Sift the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold in the coffee powder into the almond mixture.
-
Gently fold the almond mixture into the egg whites until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
-
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Tap the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles. Let the macaron shells sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to form a skin.
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macaron shells for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
-
For the coffee buttercream filling, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, coffee powder, and milk and continue to beat until smooth.
-
Once the macaron shells have cooled, pipe the coffee buttercream filling onto half of the shells. Sandwich them with the remaining shells.
-
Let the macarons sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
