Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a bowl. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the granulated sugar until you have a glossy meringue.
2
Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue until the batter is smooth and homogenous. Be careful not to overmix, or the macarons won't rise properly.
3
Using a piping bag, pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes to allow a skin to form on the surface.
4
Bake the macarons in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 12-15 minutes, until they are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the honey-marzipan filling: melt the white chocolate over a double boiler, then stir in the heavy cream and finely chopped marzipan. Stir until smooth and uniform.
6
Add honey to the cream and mix well. Let it cool slightly to thicken.
7
Once the macarons have cooled, spread a tablespoon of honey-marzipan cream on one macaron and top with another macaron shell to form a sandwich.
8
Place the finished macarons on a plate and let them rest in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
