Lime macarons Recipe Gluten-free, dairy-free (casein-free) and vegetarian.

ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Macarons:

• 140 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour "La Merveilleuse"
• 120 g (1 cup) sugar
• 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
• 4 egg whites (120 g)
• 2,5 ml (1/2 tsp) cream of tartar
• 6 drops green food coloring

Filling:

• 55 g (1/4 cup) margarine
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) lime zest
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) plant-based milk substitute
• 7,5 ml (1 1/2 tsp) lime juice
• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla
• 155 g (1 1/4 cup) sugar

PREPARATION

1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites. As soon as they start to foam, add the cream of tartar and the food coloring. Beat until stiff peaks form.
3. With a spatula, delicately fold the flour mixture into the egg whites.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Preheat the oven to 300 F (148 C).
6. Fill a pastry bag with the batter. We recommend using a pastry bag with a large round opening. *See photo.
7. On the paper-lined sheet, shape macarons into 2-inch circles.
8. Tap the baking sheet a little to remove any air bubbles, set aside uncovered for 15 minutes.
9. Bake 12 minutes.
10. Use a thin spatula to unstick, but not remove, the macarons from the baking sheet.
11. Let cool completely.
12. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, combine all the filling ingredients except the sugar.
13. Once mixed, gradually add the sugar.
14. Using a pastry bag, spread the filling on half the macarons, taking care to avoid going all the way to the edges.
15. Place the other half of the macarons atop those that have the filling.
