These delicate macarons are flavored with pink grapefruit and colored a lovely shade of pink. They make a stunning dessert that is suitable for any occasion.

Ingredients

40g granulated sugar
200g powdered sugar
100 g egg whites
pink food coloring gel
1/2 tsp grapefruit zest
120g almond flour

Time Needed

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

Instructions

In a food processor, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and grapefruit zest.
Whisk the egg whites until foamy in a large mixing bowl.
Continue whisking until stiff peaks form after gradually adding the granulated sugar.
Gently fold in the almond flour mixture into the egg whites with a spatula until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Fold in a few drops of pink gel food coloring until the batter is evenly colored.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the batter.
Pipe the batter into small rounds about 1 inch in diameter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles and set aside for 30 minutes to form a skin on the macarons.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shells are set and easily remove from the parchment paper.
Allow the macarons to cool completely before filling with grapefruit buttercream or jam of your choice.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving the macarons sandwiched together.
