Ingredients

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 48 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar until finely ground.
Egg whites should be beaten until frothy in a mixing bowl.
Continue beating until soft peaks form after adding cream of tartar.
Beat in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the almond mixture until completely combined.
Fill a piping bag halfway with the mixture and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Tap the baking sheet a few times on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles.
Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and dry to the touch.
Allow to cool completely after removing from the oven.
To make the filling, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberry jam and heavy cream.
Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
Pipe the filling onto half of the macaron shells and top with the remaining shells to assemble the macarons.
Allow at least an hour before serving to chill.
