- Hi YouTube friends!
- Hey Everyone!
- Thank you so much for tuning in to
CookwithApril on Tasty Tuesday!
Today, I am going to make
salted caramel macarons!
- Yum!
- Ever since I started my cooking channel,
you guys have been asking me to make this,
so here it is!
A macaron recipe! Stay tuned!
Let's begin by separating
the eggs yolks from the egg whites.
You won't need the yolk, you'll
only need three egg whites.
You can use the yolk
for a future creme brulee
if you'd like, or flan.
Grab a hand mixer and mix
your egg whites until frothy.
And then you're gonna go ahead and
gradually add 1/3 cup of white sugar
and continue to mix with your hand mixer
until the eggs create soft peaks.
And you know when the eggs
create soft peaks when
it kinda looks like cool whip
and you can flip it
over and it won't move.
And, in another bowl, you're
gonna go ahead and sift
one cup of almond flour or almond meal.
It's the same thing.
And then one cup and one
half cup of powdered sugar.
Go ahead and sift that.
And you can also use a strainer.
It works just as great as a sifter.
And then you're ready to
fold in the dry ingredients
with the fluffy egg whites.
And continue to gradually
add the dry ingredients
to the fluffy egg whites.
And fold it in.
And if you'd like
coloring on your macarons,
now is the time to add a
couple drops of food coloring.
Again, fold until the color shows up.
And then you're gonna place
your macaron batter in a plastic bag.
And you can just cut the
bottom if you'd like.
And then you're ready to
place it on a cookie sheet.
You can use parchment paper
or the silicon sheet that I'm using.
And just place one inch circles.
And then you're gonna
grab your cookie sheet
and then release.
And do that a couple of times.
It'll take the air off the cookies
And now you're ready to bake
at 300 degrees for 25 minutes.
And you know your cookies are ready
when you can take the cookie out
and it won't stick to the pan
or the parchment paper that you have.
And it should look like this.
And macarons look like
shells on the outside
and soft on the inside.
And if it looks likes that,
you know you did a good job.
And sometimes it takes practice.
Place the other macarons
on a cookie sheet to cool
and then, after it's cooled,
you can fill it with whatever you like.
I made caramel sauce, so I'm using that,
but you can use any filling.
Enjoy!
Alrighty, so the macarons are ready!
I made the blue macarons,
but they turned green.
But inside, they're blue.
- I'm excited.
- And then I also made these giant ones.
And then I also made some pink ones.
And then the plain
colored macarons as well.
- Can I try it?
- Yeah!
- And this has the caramel sauce
that I showed you guys
in a previous video.
Got your milk there.
(laughs)
- I am very impressed.
This tastes just like the
macarons you buy at the store.
- Thank you!
- Like that Let store that you like.
- I love salted caramel!
Of all the macaron flavors,
the salted caramel gets to me!
They're so good!
- I'm not even joking,
this tastes exactly like it.
- [April] Thank you!
- I actually like this one
a little bit more 'cause
you have more macaron part. It's thicker.
Oh man, it just tastes really good.
- [April] Thank you!
- I'm pretty impressed.
When we go, you're the only gets it.
I never get it, but this is
actually pretty good. (laughs)
- Thank you so much!
Thank you guys so much for watching.
You can make macarons in any colors.
You can even do it in different shapes.
I hope that this basic
macaron recipe helps you.
And you can always do different fillings.
Nutella!
But, I would definitely
recommend the caramel sauce
'cause it is so good!
Thank you so much for watching.
