Ingrédients
Macaron shells:
- 45g ground almonds
- 50g icing sugar
- 5g Chestnut Matcha
- 50g egg whites (approx. 1 large egg white)
- 55g caster sugar
Garniture:
- 1 tube (78g) chestnut paste
Instructions
1| Blend the ground almonds, icing sugar and matcha together. Sift this mixture twice.
2| Whisk the egg whites and caster sugar in a mixing bowl placed over a bain-marie until stiff peaks form.
3| Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in two batches.
4| Using a piping bag fitted with a smooth nozzle, pipe small rounds of batter onto baking parchment set on a baking sheet. Tap the underside of the sheet several times to remove any air bubbles.
5| Leave the macaron shells to dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
6| Bake at 150°C for 13 minutes.
7| Once baked, allow the shells to cool completely before removing them from the parchment.
8| Sandwich two shells together with a layer of chestnut paste.
