Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut flour
- 3 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Pink food coloring
- 3.5 oz (approx. 100g) high-quality milk chocolate (like Alpine style)
- Chopped peanuts for garnish
- Milk (for the ganache/filling consistency)
How to make Peanut Flour Macarons:
- If you don’t have store-bought peanut flour, pulse peanuts in a food processor until you get a fine flour consistency.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar until you achieve a glossy, consistent meringue.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the meringue until you reach your desired shade.
- Gently fold the peanut flour into the meringue until combined.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rest for two hours.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 15 minutes, or until they are firm on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave and mix with the chopped peanuts. Add a splash of milk to reach a smooth, creamy filling consistency.
- Sandwich the filling between two pink macaron shells and enjoy this divine combination of flavors.
Pro Tip:
To ensure your macarons turn out perfect, leave enough space between them on the baking sheet while they rest so they don’t stick together during the baking process.
