Ingredients
  

Macaron Shells
  • 1 cup almond flour Sifted
  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar Sifted
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring optional
Filling
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for filling
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Cadbury mini eggs for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until fully incorporated. If using food coloring, add it at this stage.
  5. Pipe circles onto the prepared baking sheet and let them sit for 30 minutes to form a skin.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes until shells are firm and not sticky. Let cool completely.
Filling Assembly
  1. For the filling, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar, then gradually mix in heavy cream until smooth.
  2. Pipe the filling onto half of the macaron shells, then sandwich with the other halves.
  3. Top with mini Cadbury eggs.

Notes

Store macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze the shells for up to a month without filling. Measure ingredients accurately for best results and let them sit before baking for a proper outer shell.
