Ingredients:

• 125g almond flour
• 125g powdered sugar
• 110g egg whites aged for 24-48 hours
• 30g granulated sugar
• Passion fruit puree from 2-3 passion fruits
• Yellow food coloring optional
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup passion fruit puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Extra passion fruit pulp for filling optional

Instructions:

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together

Set aside

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy

Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form

Add food coloring if desired

Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until well combined

Be careful not to overmix

Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet

Let them rest for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface

Preheat your oven to 300F 150C

Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they lift easily from the parchment paper

While the macarons cool, make the passion fruit filling

Beat the butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar, passion fruit puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt

Mix until smooth

Once the macarons are completely cool, spread or pipe the passion fruit filling onto one half of the macarons and top with extra passion fruit pulp if desired

Sandwich with the remaining macaron shells

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld

Enjoy!
