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, stable meringue.
2
Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue until the batter is smooth and silky. Be careful not to overmix, or the macarons will not rise properly.
3
Using a piping bag, pipe even-sized circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them 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 slightly crisp on the outside and still soft on the inside.
5
For the white chocolate ganache filling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until almost simmering, then pour it over the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
6
Mash the berries with a fork or blend them in a food processor, then stir them into the chocolate ganache. This will add a refreshing, fruity flavor to the filling.
7
Once the chocolate-fruit ganache has thickened, use a spoon or piping bag to fill one half of the macarons with the cream and place another macaron shell on top to form a sandwich.
8
Place the finished macarons on a serving platter and let them rest in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
