Ingredients
Method
Prepare Macaron Shells
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- In a bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beet puree into the meringue, then fold in the almond flour mixture until just combined.
- Transfer the mixture 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 for 15 minutes, then cool completely.
Prepare Filling
- In a bowl, combine softened goat cheese, chopped walnuts, honey, thyme, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Assemble Macarons
- Pair the macaron shells by size. Pipe a dollop of filling onto the flat side of one shell and top with another shell.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
