Ingredients
- For the macarons
- 4 egg whites
- 2 tsps lemon juice
- 250 grams very fine sugar
- 200 grams ground almonds (blanched)
- 1 Tbsp Matcha
- For the cream filling
- 150 grams butter
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 3 Tbsps finely ground Pistachio
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preparation steps
For the macarons: Preheat the oven to 150°C (approximately 300°F). Whip the egg whites and lemon juice to very stiff peaks, gradually sprinkling in the sugar. Continue beating until thick and glossy. Carefully fold in the almonds and matcha. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with large round tip and pipe into 2 cm (approximately 3/4 inch) diameter mounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes with the door ajar.
For the filling: Beat the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy and then gradually stir in the cream cheese and pistachios. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip and pipe over 1/2 of the macarons. Sandwich together with the remaining macarons, pressing together lightly. Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
