Ingredients
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar for cleaning
– 120 grams almond flour
– 155 grams powdered sugar
– 100 grams egg whites at room temperature
– 120 grams caster sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (or a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice)
– 2 drops food gel coloring
– white chocolate ganache for filling
– vanilla buttercream for filling
– Nutella for filling
Instructions
1-First, blitz the almond flour and powdered sugar in a food processor, then sift the mixture to get rid of any lumps for a smoother batter.
2-Clean your mixing bowl with white vinegar to ensure no grease interferes with the egg whites.
3-Next, whisk the egg whites, caster sugar, and cream of tartar over a double boiler until the sugar fully dissolves, which usually takes a few minutes of gentle heating.
4-Once thatβs done, remove from the heat and whip the mixture with an electric mixer until it reaches stiff, glossy peaks.
5-Gently fold in the dry ingredients until the batter forms a ribbon that disappears after about 10 seconds this step is crucial for the perfect consistency.
6-Pipe 3 cm rounds onto lined trays, tap them to release air bubbles, and let them dry for 20 to 25 minutes before baking.
7-Bake one tray at a time in a conventional oven at 150Β°C (302Β°F) for 10 to 12 minutes, keeping the oven fan off for even heat.
8-After cooling, pair the shells and fill them with your chosen option like white chocolate ganache or vanilla buttercream.
