Pink Chocolate Macarons for MacTweets

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 310º. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and have a
pastry bag with a plain tip (about ½-inch, 2 cm) ready. (Setting the pastry bag
in a glass while you fill the bag makes it easier to fill.)
2 Combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and almond meal. (Pulse in a blender or
food processor to grind you almonds a bit finer. A mini food processor works
best for this if you have one.)
3 With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they're foamy. While whipping,
gradually beat in the granulated sugar and continue beating until egg whites are
very stiff and firm, about 2 minutes. (To test to see if egg whites are ready,
whip until the tip of the peak doesn’t fold over when you pull the beater out of
the meringue.)
4 Carefully fold the dry ingredients, in two batches, into the beaten egg whites
with a flexible rubber spatula. When the mixture is just smooth and there are no
streaks of egg white, stop folding and scrape the batter into the pastry bag.
(You can put a spoonful on a plate to test it. If it slowly flattens out it’s
perfect. If it just stays in a blob, give it a few more folds.)
5 Pipe the batter on the parchment-lined baking sheets in 1-inch (3 cm) circles
(about 1 tablespoon each of batter), evenly spaced one-inch (3 cm) apart. Rap
the baking sheet a few times firmly on the counter top to flatten the macarons.
6 Leave out, uncovered for 15 minutes, then bake them for 15-20 minutes. Give the
macs a gentle little shake with the tip of your finger to see if they're done.
You want them set but not firm. It’s better to undercook them a little so they
are a bit chewy and not crisp. Let cool completely then remove from baking
sheet.
7 Combine the white chocolate chips and cream in a microwave safe dish. Melt the
white chocolate chips on 50% power, stirring frequently - cook just until most
of the chips are melted.
8 Add food coloring and stir until smooth. Let cool a few minutes until it
thickens up but is still spreadable.
