Method
Prepare Macaron Shells
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the mixture flows like lava.
- Add food coloring if desired, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then let cool completely.
Prepare Kiwi Buttercream Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Add kiwi puree and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble Macarons
- Pair up the macaron shells by size.
- Pipe a dollop of kiwi buttercream onto the flat side of one shell and sandwich with another shell.
- Repeat with remaining shells and filling.

Notes
For best results, use aged egg whites and ensure no moisture gets into the mixture.
