Coffee Macarons

Coffee Macarons filled with a swirl of Espresso Frosting and Mocha Frosting, topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean.
I made these shells using egg white powder as you can see on the video, you don't have to use it. It's totally optional, but can be beneficial.
Full recipe: www.piesandtacos.com/coffee-m...
Please read the notes below!
Coffee Macaron Shells
100 grams egg whites
100 grams white granulated sugar
4 grams egg white powder (optional)
105 grams almond flour
105 grams powdered sugar
1 teaspoon espresso powder
Espresso Frosting and Mocha Frosting
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened 56 grams
2 tbsp butter, softened 28 grams
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted 187 grams
1/2 tsp Kahlua or vanilla extract
1/2 tsp espresso powder
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp milk or water (if necessary)
Egg white powder: Egg White Powder is not the same as meringue powder. Egg white powder is made of only egg whites. They help with getting fuller shells, and specially when adding a lot of food coloring to the batter, because they make the shells dry faster. I recommend experimenting with it if you can find it. I use 4 grams for each 100 grams of egg whites.
Food coloring: Make sure to use gel food coloring if using any. I use Wilton Color Right Performance Food Coloring Set. If you are a beginner macaron baker, I recommend going easy on the food coloring, as it can alter your batter a lot, and it can take extra mixing time, specially if you continue to add the food coloring as you do the macaronage.
Scale: Please use a scale when measuring the ingredients for accuracy.
Macaron amount: it will vary greatly depending on how big you pipe the shells, and on how runny or thick the batter is.
Baking time/temperature: Baking time and temperature will vary according to your own oven. I recommend experimenting with your oven to find out the best time, temperature, position of the baking tray.
Oven thermometer: Make sure to have an oven thermometer to bake macarons. It’s one of the most important things about making macarons. Home ovens aren’t accurate at all at telling the temperature, and even a slight 5 degree difference can make or break your whole batch.
Tray rotation: Lots of bakers don’t have to rotate the trays 180 degrees in the oven every 5 minutes, but I do have to with my oven, or I will get lopsided macarons. Please adjust this according to your oven.
Espresso powder: While espresso powder and instant coffee are not the same, you could use instant coffee in this recipe if you don’t have espresso powder.
Kahlua: If you can’t find Kahlua, or don’t want to use it, just go for any coffee liqueur, or coffee extract. You can also simply use vanilla extract instead.

[@celineturmel3645]

I tried my first attempt of macarons with your vegan lemon blueberry recipe for my sister's bday a week ago but they didn't turn out properly and I realized I messed up on the instructions. My second attempt was just the shells part of your regular lavender macarons recipe, minus the icing, but I paired them with the lemon vegan buttercream frosting and they tasted amazing. However I didn't whip the egg whites enough, so a few were stuck to the cookie sheet. I'm going to try your coffee recipe and see how it goes. The process overall is very satisfying. I love your videos, the step by step and visual process is very therapeutic for me.

i have watched all your videos and love it! my macarons are turning out like yours thanks to u, but need help with the ratio. Since i use the eggs i get from my farm chickens, they are much smaller and i prefer making lesser quantity.

[@PiesandTacos]

you can halve the recipe and use a hand mixer instead of a kitchenaid, since the kitchenaid whisk wont be able to reach the bottom of the bowl and whip the meringue properly.

[@fannieburgess6770]

[@tracymarino-wagner1564]

Camila, I would like to know what the reason is for using the two types of sifters n this video. Does the handheld screen used with the almond flour and powdered sugar produce different results than the rotating wire sifter used during the cream cheese using mixture?

[@Bianca-Bibistaarten]

Thanks for the tutorial. I am very sure this macaron will be one of my favorites also. Which nozzle did you use for piping the frosting? I will make them as soon as the humidity is lower in a few days 🙋🏼‍♀️🌹

[@theresahoang519]

Hello! Love your videos! How would these do if kept at room temperature? If I make these as gifts, I won't have a fridge to keep them in. Thank you!

[@PiesandTacos]

hello, cream cheese frosting must be refrigerated. you'd have to make a buttercream without any dairy (milk, cream, or cream cheese) in it, in order to be able to keep these at room temperature. Then they will last up to 2 days at room temp.

[@mouasweets4112]

What brand of egg white powders do you use?

[@Christyyybae]

can i ask what the brand cocoa powder you use

[@jean-charlesmarie5010]

Thank you Camila for these beautiful macarons. I have a quick question for you: what is the reason for using dried egg whites in this week's recipe? In last week's recipe, you didn't use any. Would you recommend to always use them, or just when the weather is particularly humid? I love your videos, you always take the time to explain things. And watching your technique over and over helps me gain confidence. For the first time this past weekend, I used your Swiss meringue method (instead of the Italian one) and my raspberry macarons came out perfect! You're clearly a pro, because thanks to you, I succeeded and was proud to share them with my wife, neighbors and friends. Everybody loved them! Thank you very much.

[@PiesandTacos]

Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that!! So the egg white powder is really good no matter what conditions. It will be very beneficial for humid climates, or for people who have trouble with the meringue. And I don't have trouble with my meringue, and my climate is not humid right now, but I find my shells fuller, and prettier using the egg white powder. That's because the egg white powder is basically like adding more egg whites to the meringue without adding the water content, which means you are adding just protein, and the protein will help strengthen the structure of the meringue, which is the base of the macaron. A strong meringue equals a beautiful shell!

[@jean-charlesmarie5010]

@@PiesandTacos Makes sense, thank you Camila. My friends and wife requested coffee flavor for my next batch, so guess who's recipe I'm going to follow? Hint: it involves the use of egg white powder... ;)

[@MrPollypockett]

Ese relleno funciona para climas calurosos? No se derrite ?

[@PiesandTacos]

it's butter based so it will melt if it sits outside for too long in a very hot climate.

Can you please suggest an alternate to cream cheese for the mocha frosting . Can I use butter instead cause I don't have cream cheese at the moment.

yes you can

[@betelalston7764]

Do you melt the sugar in the egg whites until they reach a certain temperature or only until the sugar is disolved?

[@PiesandTacos]

only until the sugar dissolves, the mixture should not heat too much

[@betelalston7764]

Thank you so much! I’m going to try these today they look absolutely delicious.

[@flappyman9254]

50c is enough to dissolve the sugar.

If i half the recipe will the macarons still turn out ok? 50 gms egg whites 50 gms granulated sugar 55 gms almond flour 55 gms icing sugar ??

[@PiesandTacos]

yes it will work if you use half of the recipe. just be mindful when doing this if you are using a kitchenaid mixer, because the whisk might not reach the bottom of the mixer to whip the whites properly. If doing this it's better to use a hand mixer.

I've made Macarons several times and these turned out worst D: Cracking + absolutely hollow and frail. Maybe I'll figure out why.

[@tabindawhala]

Where the recipe?

[@jamifitz]

In the description box

[@Maiasatara]

The flavor sounds delicious and the end result looks fantastic but it’s frustrating to watch you use such small sifters and bowls. Sifting will take much longer than it needs to that way and pushing with a spatula will force larger grains of the almond flour to pass through. Shaking method with several smaller batches will go MUCH faster.

[@PiesandTacos]

I always push it with a spatula or a whisk, works fine for me.

[@blue_blaze3]

Last Friday, for the first time, I made macarons, after watching videos for three whole months, yet I didn't get it right! I didn't get feet, they were cracking, and they slightly got burned, why? I'm so sad that I didn't get it right! 😔😔😔😢😭
