  • Gently fold all the ingredients together.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag with a rounded tip.

NUT-FREE MACARONS



Nut-Free Macarons image

The problem that I identified was that French macarons are almost always baked with almond flour, and so many people with tree nut allergies, counting me, are affected by this problem, because we can't eat freshly baked French macarons from a pastry shop. This is problematic, because I've always wanted to try a French macaron, since my sisters have tried them and told me that they taste really good, and I was jealous.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup confectioners' sugar
¾ cup coconut flour
3 egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 cup raspberries
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Sift in coconut flour.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until white and foamy. Add white sugar slowly. Beat until mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  • Sift the coconut flour mixture into the egg whites, a few tablespoons at a time, folding after each addition. Batter should be thick and gooey and able to fall off a spoon slowly like lava.
  • Fit a piping bag with a coupler and a tip. Drop piping bag tip-down into a tall glass and fold edges down around the glass. Spoon batter into the bag. Gather edges and twist together.
  • Holding the tip at a 90 degree angle, pipe batter onto a greased baking sheet to form individual macaron shells. Tap baking sheet onto a countertop to remove air bubbles. Let sit until dry, 15 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Puree raspberries in a food processor, adding water if using frozen raspberries. Strain out the seeds using a fine-mesh strainer.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 the confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Add the remaining 1/2 and beat until creamy. Add raspberry puree and heavy cream; mix well to make the frosting.
  • Spoon a small amount of frosting over the flat side of a macaron shell; cap with another shell. Repeat with the remaining filling and shells.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour that is finely ground. This will help the macarons have a smooth texture.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This means that they should hold their shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
  • Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites gently. Do not overmix, or the macarons will be tough.
  • Let the macarons rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
  • Bake the macarons at a low temperature. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from browning too much.
  • Let the macarons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.

Conclusion:

Making nut-free macarons is a delicious and rewarding experience. By following these tips, you can create perfect macarons that are light, airy, and full of flavor. Enjoy your delicious homemade macarons!
