Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ginger lemon filling: grate the fresh ginger and lemon zest, then set aside.
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, to maintain the mixture's lightness.
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 to allow a skin to form on top 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, then stir in the heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
9
Once the ginger and lemon zest are well combined, add it to the white chocolate cream and mix well to get a solid but soft creamy filling.
10
Once the filling is even, put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to solidify slightly.
11
Once the macarons have cooled, spread the creamy ginger lemon filling on one half of each macaron, then top with the other half.
12
Refrigerate the finished macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
