Instructions
Preparation Steps
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Place egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat until frothy; gradually add superfine sugar and beat until glossy and stiff peaks form.
Optionally add a few drops of food coloring and mix just until combined. Set aside.
Sift almond flour and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Mix the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar well with a large spoon.
Gently fold 1/4 of the meringue into the almond mixture, then fold in the remaining meringue until combined.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the batter.
Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
Let the piped batter dry at room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 315°F.
Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes; rotate sheet after 6 minutes for even baking.
Transfer baked macarons to a cooling rack; do not remove from sheets until cooled.
Cool completely before filling.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites and salt until frothy.
Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Microwave corn syrup on high for 1.5-2 minutes or until boiling.
Stream the hot corn syrup into egg whites while beating until glossy and stiff.
Add vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Pipe the marshmallow frosting on the flat side of a macaron shell and top with another shell.
Assemble all macarons and refrigerate in an airtight container for 24 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure macarons are stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
