Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 150°C. Beat the egg whites until they're light and fluffy, add salt, cream of tartar and white sugar for about 8-10 mins.
Step 2
Whip the mixture until they form a peak that stands upright. Add the food coloring.
Step 3
Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar.
You are trying to achieve a very fine powder mixture to create a smooth surface on your biscuit.
Step 4
Fold the flour/sugar mixture in with the egg white mixture.
About 60 turns of folding should do it.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into a piping bag and squirt out
small rounds on the baking sheet (or silicone tray).
Let them sit for 30 mins.
Step 6
Bake for 20 mins and be sure not to overbake otherwise they'll stick and wont come off your tray.
Step 7
Next, mix the buttercream. Use an electric mixer to whip up the butter until pale and fluffy. Slowly add sugar.
Step 8
Put a sieve on top of a bowl the same size.
Smoosh the mangoes through the sieve with a large spoon, pushing them through to extract their juice (about 3 tablespoons).
Step 9
Add juice to buttercream, and mix well.
Transfer to a piping bag with a small tip.
Step 10
Pipe a small blob of filling on one half side of each macaron.
Push the shells together and slightly twist to keep them together.
