Main Ingredients: White Chocolate, Vegetable Oil, Pretzel Sticks, Milk
Ingredients:
Macaron Shells:
1 3/4 cups (200g) confectioners' sugar
1 cup (100g) almond flour
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
Red food coloring
Peppermint Buttercream Filling:
1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups (240g) confectioners' sugar
1-2 Tablespoons (15-30ml) heavy cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes for topping
Instructions:
To make the macarons:
In a food processor, pulse the confectioners' sugar and almond flour together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
Add the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and peppermint extract to the egg whites and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Add a few drops of red food coloring to the egg whites and gently fold it in until the desired color is achieved.
Gradually fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until everything is well combined and smooth.
Transfer the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and pipe 1 inch circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface to release any air bubbles and let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (149°C) and bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes.
Let the macarons cool completely before carefully removing them from the parchment paper.
To make the peppermint buttercream filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the confectioners' sugar, heavy cream or milk, and peppermint extract and beat until well combined and smooth.
Transfer the buttercream into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and pipe a small amount onto the flat side of half of the macaron shells.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or candy canes on top of the buttercream, then sandwich the remaining macaron shells on top.
Refrigerate the macarons for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
