Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- Pink food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachio paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together into a bowl; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the almond flour mixture, rose water, and food coloring (if using) until the batter flows like lava.
- Pipe 1-inch circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rest for 30 minutes to form a skin.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 12-15 minutes, then cool completely on the baking sheet.
- For the ganache, heat cream until steaming, pour over white chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in pistachio paste and salt, then chill until thick.
- Pair macaron shells and fill with ganache. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving for best texture.
