Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the cinnamon-marzipan filling: chop the marzipan and mix the cinnamon with the heavy cream.
2
Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl to remove any lumps.
3
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the granulated sugar. The meringue should be firm and hold its shape.
4
Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar into the meringue. Be careful not to overmix the batter, to preserve its airiness.
5
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes, allowing the tops to form a skin before baking.
7
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, then let them cool completely.
8
Melt the white chocolate and then mix it with the cinnamon-marzipan cream until smooth and creamy.
9
Once the filling is consistent, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
10
Once the macarons have cooled, pipe the creamy cinnamon-marzipan filling onto one half, then top with the other half.
11
Refrigerate the finished macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
