Candy Corn Macarons

These adorable Candy Corn Macarons are perfect for Halloween or any sweet occasion. Their vibrant colors and delicious flavor will delight your taste buds

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup almond flour
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• Orange food coloring
• Yellow food coloring
• White chocolate ganache for filling

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C

Blend confectioners sugar and almond flour in a food processor

Pulse until thoroughly combined and finely ground

The mixture should be sifted into a bowl

Beat the egg whites until frothy in a different bowl

Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating the mixture until stiff peaks form

Gently fold the orange food coloring into the egg white mixture

When the batter is smooth and flows like lava, add the almond flour mixture to the egg white mixture and gently fold it in

Take care not to blend too much

Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet

Pipe tiny circles onto the parchment paper using a piping bag fitted with a round tip to form the appearance of candy corn by alternating orange, yellow, and white sections

To get rid of the air bubbles, tap the baking sheet against the counter

The macarons should form a skin after about 30 minutes of sitting at room temperature

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and the tops are firm, in a preheated oven

Leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely

After the macarons have cooled, carefully take them off of the parchment paper

Melt the white chocolate and whisk in the heavy cream until smooth to make white chocolate ganache

Allow to thicken and cool

Place equal-sized macaron shells together and top with a dollop of white chocolate ganache
