  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup pistachio flour
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for the filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the powdered sugar, almond flour, and pistachio flour until they’re finely blended.
  3. Whip the egg whites until foamy, gradually adding the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring, gently folding until evenly colored.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients gradually, mixing until the batter flows like lava.
  6. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets using a piping bag.
  7. Let the macarons sit for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on top.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they have risen and developed feet.
  9. Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, powdered sugar, and pistachio paste until creamy.
  10. Assemble the macarons by piping filling onto one shell and pressing another shell on top.
  11. Let the assembled macarons mature in the fridge for at least a day.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They are best enjoyed after a day of maturation.
