Ingredients

Green food coloring
110g egg whites
Zest of 1 lime
100g granulated sugar
150 g almond flour
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
150g unsalted butter, 300g powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground ginger
150g powdered sugar

Time Needed

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, froth the egg whites and cream of tartar.
Add the granulated sugar gradually while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Fold the almond flour and egg white mixture together until completely combined.
Fold in the lime zest, ground ginger, and green food coloring until completely combined.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the mixture.
Pipe small circles of the mixture onto the baking sheet that has been prepared.
Tap the baking sheet a few times on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles.
Allow the macarons to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops of the macarons are firm to the touch.
Before removing the macarons from the baking sheet, allow them to cool completely.
To make the filling, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
While beating the mixture, gradually add the powdered sugar.
Beat in the lime juice and vanilla extract until well combined.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the filling.
Pipe a small amount of filling onto one macaron's flat side and sandwich it with another.
Repeat with the remaining macarons.
Before serving, chill the macarons for at least 30 minutes.
