The Rose Macaron

Rose Macaron

Easy French Macaron Recipe

This is possibly the easiest French meringue method. Perfect for home baking.

Filled with light-as-air rose buttercream and decorated with premium culinary grade rose petals, the Rose Macaron will bring you to a leisurely afternoon in an English rose garden, sipping team and breathing in the romantic aroma of roses. I love pairing the Rose with a cup of Earl Grey tea. 

​INGREDIENTS:
Shells: 
2 egg whites
3/4 cup almond flour
1 cup powdered sugar

Red liquid food coloring for airbrush (optional)

Filling:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
