Print Recipe

Delicate Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons filled with a delicious cheesecake filling.

Ingredients

  • Almond Flour (100 grams)
  • Powdered Sugar (100 grams)
  • Egg Whites (75 grams, about 2 large eggs)
  • Granulated Sugar (50 grams)
  • Cream of Tartar (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Strawberry Extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Pink Food Coloring (Optional, a few drops)
  • Freeze-Dried Strawberries (2 tablespoons, crushed)

Instructions

  1. Prep your set-up by lining baking sheets with parchment paper and preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together in a bowl.
  3. Whip the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, then add cream of tartar and gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Add vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and pink food coloring to the meringue, folding gently.
  5. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the meringue gently until you reach a “lava” consistency.
  6. Pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets using a piping bag.
  7. Rest the piped macarons at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  8. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, rotating halfway through.
  9. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Assemble by pairing similar-sized macarons with cheesecake filling.

Notes

For best results, use aged egg whites for meringue stability. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
