Love mermaids? I’ve got the perfect dessert guide for you! ?

Mermaid Macarons

Macaron Recipe

Makes about 20 macaron sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • Purple gel food color

Directions

  1. Beat egg whites until foamy. Slowly add in sugar, then mix for 6-8 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add half of dry ingredients to wet ingredients and fold in until halfway combined. Add in remaining dry ingredients, then fold until batter drips off spatula slowly but continuously.
  4. Pipe out macarons onto parchment paper lined baking sheet, then add sprinkles to upper halves of half of macarons. Tap baking sheet on counter to release air bubbles, then let sit for 30-45 minutes or until skin forms on outside of macarons (they should not stick to your finger when lightly touched). At this point, preheat your oven to 300 F while you wait for the skin to form.
  5. Bake for minutes, or until macarons remove cleanly from parchment paper.
