Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the grape cream filling: puree the grapes and set aside.
2
Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl to remove any lumps.
3
Whisk 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, as this will deflate the meringue.
5
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small, even circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes to allow a skin to form before baking.
7
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, then let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
8
Melt the white chocolate, then stir in the heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
9
Once the grapes are pureed, mix them with the white chocolate cream to create a soft but firm filling.
10
Once the filling is even, place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
11
When the macarons have cooled, spread a generous amount of the grape cream filling onto one shell, then top with another shell.
12
Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
