Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the gingerbread filling: combine the gingerbread spice mix with the heavy cream and 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 keep the mixture light and airy.
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 the surface 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 it into the heavy cream that has been infused with gingerbread spices.
9
Once the filling is smooth, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
10
When the macarons are cool, pipe the creamy gingerbread filling onto one half and top with the other half.
11
Let the finished macarons rest in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
