STRAWBERRY MACARON ICE CREAM SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Using a fine mesh sieve, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Discard any large pieces that remain in the sieve.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Add a third of the granulated sugar and with mixer on high, continue to beat until egg whites are stiff peaks.
• Add another third of the sugar and beat again until egg whites are back to stiff peaks. Repeat with the remaning sugar, beating until whites are shiny and fluffy.
• Add the sifted flour and sugar to the bowl with the egg whites. Add 2 drops of food coloring. With a rubber scraper, fold the mixture into the egg whites, about 35-45 strokes, or until the batter falls on itself but a slight peak remains.
• NOTE: Do not over-mix or batter will be too thin and runny.
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
• Pipe batter onto prepared baking tray into 3-inch (8 cm) disks.
• Lift and drop the baking tray onto a hard surface 2-3 times to smooth out the batter and knock out any air bubbles. Allow macarons to rest at room temperature for one hour, until a skin forms on the surface.
• Preheat oven to 275˚F (140˚C).
• After about one hour, gently brush the top a macaron with your finger to check that a skin has formed. The batter should not stick to your finger, if it does, allow to set for an additional 15 minutes.
• Bake cookies in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the macarons peel away from the parchment when lifted.
• Allow the macaron shells to cool completely.
• Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop ice cream and put onto the bottom side of the macaron shell. Place raspberries in between ice cream scoops, and sandwich together with a similarly sized macaron.
• Enjoy!
