Blackberry Or Strawberry Macarons, anyone!? How adorable are these? Perfect pretty gift.

Blackberry Or Strawberry Macarons for a Sweet Afternoon Treat. These Blackberry and strawberry macarons are a delightful way to celebrate the freshness of berry season.

Crafted with real fruit or high-quality fruit purees, each macaron captures the essence of its respective berry, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and refreshing.

The blackberry macarons often have a subtle earthiness, pairing well with creamy or vanilla accents in the filling, while strawberry macarons may feature fillings like strawberry buttercream or a layer of strawberry jam.

These berries add natural colour to the macarons, making them as beautiful as they are flavourful, and perfect for a sophisticated afternoon tea or a berry-themed dessert spread.

These pretty patisseries are very fashionable at the moment but can be very expensive to buy. So why not make your own and give as a gift in a recycled box lined with non-stick baking paper and a lacy paper doily tied with ribbon.

What You Need:

Macarons:

  • 175g (6 oz) icing sugar
  • 125g (41/2 oz) ground almonds

Blackberry Or Strawberry Macarons Method:

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 140oC/275oF/Gas Mark 1.
  2. Line 3 baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
  3. Grind the icing sugar and ground almonds to a fine powder in a food processor or liquidiser then press through a sieve.
  4. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until they form moist peaks then gradually whisk the caster sugar in a little at a time.
  5. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy, then whisk in a few drops of violet or pink food colouring.
  6. Spoon half the icing sugar and ground almonds into the bowl then gently fold together.
  7. Add the remaining mixture and continue folding in until just mixed.
  8. Don’t over-fold or the mixture will go very runny and be difficult to pipe.
  9. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a large plain tube and pipe 2.5cm (1 inch) rounds on the paper-lined trays.
  10. Give each baking sheet a sharp tap to ensure a good ‘foot’.
  11. You should make about 40.
  12. Leave to stand for 20 minutes for the macarons to dry out.
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the macarons may be lifted easily off the paper.
  14. Leave to cool.
