Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl, then set aside.
- Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar while whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and pink food coloring into the whipped egg whites.
- Carefully fold the sifted almond flour mixture into the egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until they form a skin.
- Bake macarons in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway through.
- Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and strawberry extract for the filling.
- Pair up macaron shells and pipe cheesecake filling onto one shell before sandwiching with another.
- Crush freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle on top of the assembled macarons before serving.
