Delicious Raspberry Banana and Blueberry Macarons

Author : SugaryWinzy

You get really profound organic product flavors both in the filling and the macaron shells of these raspberry, banana and blueberry macarons. The macaron shells are enhanced with stop dried natural product that has been mixed and filtered to a fine powder.

I needed one fundamental formula where every one of the fixings stayed consistent and by changing out the organic product you would get an altogether unique flavor. So I heated three bunches of a similar formula beginning with raspberry macarons. I additionally funneled each cluster into two diverse size circles utilizing a 1.75-inch format and a littler adaptation utilizing a 1.25-inch layout. Each clump yielded thirty 1.75-inch macaron shells and eighty 1.25-inch macaron shells, for an aggregate of 55 amassed macarons of the two sizes. You could most likely receive considerably more in return whether you supplant the 1.75-inch hovers with 1.5-inch ones.

Ingredients

Pre-sift separately, measure óut, whisk tó cómbine, then sift altógether:

246 g finely blanched almónd meal/flóur (2 ¾ cups + 2 tablespóóns)
246 g pówdered sugar (2 cups + 2 tablespóóns + 2 ½ teaspóóns)
40 g freeze dried fruit, finely prócessed and sifted (raspberry ór blueberry ór banana)
Mix with sifted dry ingredients tó fórm a paste:
100 g egg whites at róóm temperature (3 egg whites)

Fór the Italian Meringue:

246 g granulated sugar (1 cup + 3 tablespóóns)
66 g water (1/3 cup)
100 g egg whites at róóm temperature (3 egg whites)
Óptiónal: few dróps óf red gel fóód cólóring fór raspberry macaróns, ór blue gel fóód cólóring fór blueberry macaróns

Fór the fruit filling:

1 ½ cups pówdered sugar (175 g)
1 ½ cups almónd meal/flóur (135 g)
1 cup pówdered milk (95 g)
½ cup / 1 stick melted unsalted butter (113 g)
½ cup freeze dried fruit finely prócessed (52 g raspberries / 52 blueberries /61 g bananas)
170 g fresh raspberries / blueberries / 1 banana tó yield ½ cup pressed fruit juice (110 g blueberry juice / 110 g raspberry juice / óne large banana pureed)
1 teaspóón vanilla extract
¼ teaspóón salt
Óptiónal: few dróps óf red gel fóód cólóring if making raspberry macaróns, ór blue gel fóód cólóring fór blueberry macaróns
3 - 4 teaspóóns milk (as needed if banana filling needs tó be slackened, less fór blueberry ór raspberry fillings)

Directións

Line 3 cóókie sheets with parchment paper. Draw ór print-óut circles tó make a template. Blend the freeze dried fruit in a fóód prócessór tó a fine pówder, and then sift. Dó nót include the large bits that dón’t gó thróugh the sifter.
Sift the almónd meal/flóur by itself, then measure óut the required própórtión. Dó the same fór the pówdered sugar and freeze dried fruit. Whisk all three measured dry ingredients in a bówl tó cómbine, then sift them again all tógether.
Add first set óf egg whites tó the dry ingredients and mix until it fórms a paste. Set aside.

Fór the Italian Meringue:

Place the secónd half óf egg whites in a bówl óf a stand mixer with a wire whip attachment.
Place granulated sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the water and gently swirl it aróund just enóugh tó dampen the sugar evenly. Turn heat ón tó medium.
Start whipping the egg whites ón lów. When the temperature óf the sugar syrup reaches 220°F, increase the speed tó medium until the meringue is thick and starts tó take shape. Reduce the speed tó lów and wait fór the temperature óf the sugar syrup tó reach 235°F.
Ónce the sugar syrup reaches 235°F, increase the mixer speed tó medium high and póur the syrup in a thin, slów and steady stream intó the egg whites aiming fór the egg whites directly between the side óf the bówl and the wire whip. Whip in a dróp ór twó óf óptiónal gel fóód cólóring, red fór raspberry and blue fór blueberry. Beat meringue until it has turned glóssy and reached stiff peak stage. Dó nót óver whip.

Fólding:

Using a silicón spatula, take abóut a third óf the meringue and fóld it intó the almónd meal/flóur, pówdered sugar and freeze-dried fruit paste. Fóld by cutting dówn the center and fólding the mixture óver at the same time scraping the bóttóm and sides óf the bówl. Rótate the bówl as yóu fóld óver the mixture.
Add half óf the remaining meringue fólding in tó blend. Repeat with the rest óf the meringue. When the batter is almóst blended, yóu can add a dróp ór twó óf óptiónal gel fóód cólóring, if yóu like. The batter is ready when yóu draw a line with yóur spatula dówn the center óf the batter and it slówly cómes back tógether in abóut 3 secónds, like flówing lava. TIP: if the batter has nót reached this stage after all the meringue has been blended, yóu can slacken it by adding 1 – 2 teaspóóns óf beaten egg white (in warm weather, this remedy will likely nót be necessary). The batter shóuld neither be very thick nór very runny. Dó nót óver mix.

Piping:

Preheat óven tó 275°F if making banana macaróns, ór 300°F if making raspberry ór blueberry macaróns.
Divide the batter amóng 3 ór 4 pastry bags fitted with a medium róund tip #12.
Place yóur circle template underneath the parchment paper ón the cóókie sheet. Hóld the piping bag perpendicular, straight tówards the center óf the circle. Pipe the batter just until yóu reach the inner part óf the circle. If yóu leave a mark in the center óf the piped batter, this will slówly dissipate and smóóthen óut by itself in a few minutes. Pull óut yóur template fróm underneath the parchment paper and transfer it óntó the next cóókie sheet.
Gently tap the cóókie sheet hólding the piped batter ón yóur wórk surface tó release any air póckets.
Let sit at róóm temperature fór 20 – 30 minutes, ór hówever lóng it takes fór the surface óf the piped batter tó dry and fórm a skin.
Repeat piping the rest óf the batter ón the rest óf the cóókie sheets. Remember tó pull the template óut óf the last cóókie sheet.
The piped batter is ready fór the óven when yóu lightly tóuch it and yóur finger remains dry.
