Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: measure out the almond flour, powdered sugar, and egg whites.
2
In a bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
3
In a mixing bowl, begin whipping the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4
Gently fold the almond flour-powdered sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the batter.
5
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating uniform, circular macarons.
6
Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, allowing a thin skin to form on the surface.
7
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) convection. Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes. The feet should easily separate from the parchment paper.
8
For the raspberry jam, purée the fresh raspberries and strain them through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. In a saucepan, combine the strained raspberry purée with a little sugar and cook until thickened.
9
Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler. Stir in the butter and heavy cream until smooth ganache forms.
10
Once the macarons have cooled, spread a small amount of raspberry jam on one half, followed by a dollop of white chocolate ganache. Top with the other half to create a sandwich.
11
Let the assembled macarons rest for an hour or two to allow the flavors to meld.
