  • Total Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

– 120g almond flour forms the base for the shells

– 150g powdered sugar sweetens and smoothens the mixture

– 20g freeze-dried banana (ground finely) adds intense banana flavor

– A pinch of salt enhances overall taste

– 90g egg whites (approximately 3 large eggs) creates the meringue structure

– 150g granulated sugar helps stabilize the meringue

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract provides a subtle aromatic note

– 75g fresh banana, mashed contributes fresh moisture and flavor

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice balances sweetness and prevents browning

– 120ml heavy cream used in the ganache for creaminess

– 100g white chocolate, chopped melts into the ganache filling

– food coloring for a vibrant look if desired

Instructions

1-First, prepare the banana ganache by boiling the mashed fresh banana with granulated sugar and lemon juice until it thickens, then puree it smoothly for a rich filling.

2-Next, heat this puree with heavy cream and chopped white chocolate until everything melts and combines, and let it cool completely.

3-For the macaron shells, sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, finely ground freeze-dried banana, and a pinch of salt to ensure a fine mixture.

4-Whip the egg whites until they are foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, incorporating vanilla extract for extra flavor.

5-Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter flows smoothly, being careful not to overmix.

6-Pipe the batter into 3-4 cm diameter circles on parchment-lined baking sheets, then let the shells rest for 40 to 60 minutes until a dry skin forms on top.

7-Bake the rested shells at 150ยฐC (300ยฐF) for 16-20 minutes until they are firm and have developed feet.

8-After baking, allow the shells to cool completely before filling them with the prepared banana ganache.

9-Finally, refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least one day to let the flavors develop fully, resulting in a tasty banana filling that makes each bite special.
