first attempt at making macaron also i made it late in the night and used the wrong piping nozzle hence not smooth on the top.
Ingredients for the Shells: 65 grams almond flour 65 grams powdered sugar 45 grams castor sugar 50 grams egg white 1 tsp matcha powder
Ingredients for the Filling: 50 grams chopped white chocolate 15 grams heavy cream
Preparation In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add ½ of the granulated sugar and with mixer on high, continue to beat until egg whites are stiff peaks. Repeat with last ½ of sugar, beating until whites are shiny and fluffy. Using a fine mesh strainer, sieve the almond flour, powdered sugar, and matcha into the bowl with the egg whites. Discard any large pieces that remain in the strainer. Fold until just combined
Preheat oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
Fill a piping bag with the macaron mixture and pipe 1½-inch (4 cm) dollops onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Let the cookies rest until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top (can be up to 1 hour). When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake at 300˚F (150˚C) for 15 minutes.
While resting, make the filling by mixing the chocolate and double cream. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill. Let rest for 10 minutes, or until cool before filling. Pipe the cream cheese mixture on the macron and sandwich with another one
