Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the red berry filling: purée the mixed berries 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. Gradually add the granulated sugar. The meringue should be firm and hold its shape.
4
Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue. Be careful not to overmix, to maintain the airy texture.
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, allowing 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 and stir in the heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
9
Once the red berries are pureed, mix them with the white chocolate cream until a soft, but stable filling forms.
10
Once the filling is smooth, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to slightly firm up.
11
Once the macarons have cooled, spoon the creamy red berry filling onto one half of each macaron, then top with the other half.
12
Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
