Vanilla Macarons filled with Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Hello friends, today I am going to show you how to make Vanilla Macarons, filled with a Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream. These macarons are absolutely delicious and brimming with vanilla fragrance and flavor! The Swiss meringue buttercream is also a lovely option if you are not into overly sweet fillings, because it’s very mild in sweetness and creamy.

Hello Camila Thanks so much for your videos, I love them all. I have a quick question, what causes the macaron feet from separating from the shell in the final product? I have everything right but I just don’t like the crack from the feet that touches the shell. Thank you

[@maruca3112]

I really appreciate your videos! I’ve made these vanilla ones and they came out great. I also made the chocolate ones I am struggling a bit with some of the tops cracking. I am confident that I will master them with the help of all the information you have supplied here in your videos and your website. I just wanted to reach out to you to say Thank You!

[@PiesandTacos]

Thank you! With the chocolate ones look into the brand of cocoa you’re using I use hersheys bc it has low fat content. Also make sure it’s a brand new box, stale cocoa powder can cause it to crack. Sometimes chocolate shells gotta rest longer as well

[@maruca3112]

I actually am trying the recipe again today the macarons are resting right now. I did open a new bag of cocoa powder that I had on the shelf. It’s Ghirardelli premium baking unsweetened cocoa powder. If this doesn’t work I will save this bag for cakes and pick up Hersey’s. It’s a extremely hot day in CT but I do have the central air on. Keep your fingers crossed LOL. Thank you for such a quick response. Have an awesome day and will let you know how they turn out. I did it. They didn’t crack. Feet could have been bigger but I’ll take the win 🤗

Hey, new bakers

[@PiesandTacos]

thank you so much!!!

Hi Camila! I have just subscribed to your channel. I love how detailed you are while making these challenging cookies! I have a question… I want to practice using the Swiss method. I have only made my shells with the French and Italian methods. Is it possible to make the shells, fill them and THEN freeze them? I have a few batches of unflavored SMBC that are vacuum sealed along with shells that are separated in air tight containers already stored in my chest freezer. I thought it would save extra steps (and freezer bags) if I could already sandwich them before I store them. I am sure you must have covered this topic, but I missed it. Thank you so much 😊

[@PiesandTacos]

yes, it's recommended to let them mature in the fridge at least overnight before freezing though. But you can for sure freeze them filled. They will last quite a while, and then to serve them again after frozen, remove them from the freezer and they should be ready to be served in just 30 or 40 minutes, when they come to room temp.

[@nathaliefuentes6650]

What tips did u use to put the filling on the macarons

[@chocolatemaya8280]

Beautiful tasty macs :-) Only question, do you use fresh egg whites in your videos? No need to age them for days before baking?

[@PiesandTacos]

Thank you so much!! I dont ever age them.

[@lilychen3295]

Can I make the Swiss meringue buttercream 1 day before I make the macaron shells?

[@sweetautumn84]

What is the brand of your almond powder? Thank you.

[@jertan2171]

Is it advisable to add cream of tartar helps the egg whites in the process to make it stable?

[@danyelle1119]

How do you achieve such bright colors? I was viewing your Mardi Gras macarons and the colors are so bright.

[@PiesandTacos]

using a lot of food coloring, and I use mostly americolor. You can find a post about my colors here: www.piesandtacos.com/macaron-food-coloring/

[@carmenrojas4469]

How many meringues sets can you get out of this batch?

[@michellemitchell1955]

So excited to try these! This may be a silly question but how many eggs make up 100g egg whites?

[@-sinistersleepasmr-8442]

It is about 3 eggs

[@-sinistersleepasmr-8442]

Whites

[@michellemitchell1955]

Thank you!!

[@dco8886]

I tried baking my macarons with my oven at 310F but keep getting huge bulging feet. I got to 280-285 and feet were good, hard shell, no browning, BUT they come out hollowed 😭 I put some filling in some to see if they’ll fill up when matured 🤷🏻‍♀️😣

[@vanessamorales2341]

Hello! Can u substitute de egg powder for merengue powder?

[@PiesandTacos]

You could yes

[@moniquegonzalez9016]

Is there a nut free recipe ?

[@breebrown4455]

Do you age the egg whites?

[@lubnaalshetwey4310]

i couldn’t find almond flour is it okay if i switch it to regular flour

[@PiesandTacos]

i have a video on that too, make sure to watch it because there are definitely some changes to be made and adjustments.

[@YYM111]

Hi, do u preheated the countertop oven?

[@PiesandTacos]

I do for sure.

[@YYM111]

@@PiesandTacos thanks

It's my first time making macarons and they came out chewy, do you know what happened?

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

How I wish that you can teach me in person how to make vegan ones because I’ve tried so many times that I almost threw my schedule out the window I borded up the almond flour.. I so desperately want to know how to make Macarons someone to make like valentines macaron pops or something because that’s what I do I bake but it said I had a used cookies because I can’t make these I’ve tried 1 million times and I fell I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong!! 😞

[@PiesandTacos]

Vegan ones are very tricky, I am currently trying to figure them out in my new ovens at my new house, it's taken me 3 failed attempts so far. It's not the easiest thing.

[@nononesense1477]

Way too sweet! Need less sugar

[@PiesandTacos]

Definitely not. To everyone else reading please don’t use less sugar, macarons need sugar for the chemical reactions I explain everything in detail here: www.piesandtacos.com/sugar-role-in-macarons/ and my recipe already has one of the lowest if not the lowest sugar ratio of the recipes out there for macarons. Plus macarons are a dessert item it’s supposed to be sweet.
