Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • Orange food coloring optional
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Orange extract optional
  • Orange zest for garnish optional

Instructions:

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside

In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar

Pulse until well combined

Sift the mixture into a large bowl and set aside

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy

Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat

Beat until stiff peaks form

Fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture

Add orange zest and a few drops of orange food coloring if desired and gently fold until the batter is smooth and shiny

Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a round tip

Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart

Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to form a skin

Preheat your oven to 325F 160C

Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they have a slight crust and have risen

Let them cool on the baking sheet before carefully removing them

While the macarons are cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until creamy

Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a few drops of orange extract if desired

Mix until smooth and well combined

Once the macarons are completely cooled, pipe the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one macaron shell and sandwich it with another shell

Repeat with the remaining macarons

Optional: Garnish the macarons with orange zest for extra flavor and presentation

Refrigerate the macarons for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together

Enjoy your homemade Orange Macarons with Cream Cheese Filling!
