The batter can be affected by adding liquid food coloring. The color of the macarons can also be enhanced by using a drop of gel food coloring. However, keep in mind that the color fades as they bake. If you’d like your macarons to achieve the desired color, you can add a little extra gel color.

Expert Tips And Tricks

If needed, sift the flour and sugar mixture two times. Remember, there should not be any chunks.
When whipping egg whites, ensure that the bowl is clean and that the eggs are at room temperature. These are crucial for achieving stiff peaks.
Invest in a kitchen weighing scale. Making these macarons requires weighing all of your ingredients as instructed in the recipe.
When using food coloring, make sure it is gel. Since the batter is already so finicky, you should not add any more liquid. The gel food coloring will also require less quantity than liquid food coloring due to its concentration.
Chop the strawberries well. The strawberry jam’s texture will be determined by this.
It is important that the shells cool properly before you remove them from the baking sheet. When they are fully cooled, you should be able to peel them off easily.
Temperature influences macarons significantly. The macarons may crack, lose their shape, or become brown or ruffled if the oven temperature is too high.

For Making Strawberry Jam:

Ideally, you should make the strawberry jam first. For that, chop the strawberries into small pieces.
Now, take a pan. Add in the chopped strawberries, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the pan and cook them over medium to low flame. Cook it for 25 minutes.
Make sure you stir the mixture constantly while it is cooking. Upon reaching the desired consistency, remove the pan from the flame. Allow it to cool completely.

For Instructions For Making Strawberry Jam Shells:

For strawberry macaron shells, sieve 183 grams of powdered sugar and 200 grams of almond powder in a separate bowl.
In another large bowl, pour 152 grams of room-temperature egg whites and whisk with the help of a hand mixer.
Now, add 152 grams of granulated sugar to the bowl. Whisk it at medium speed with the help of a hand blender until stiff peaks are formed. Beat until stiff peaks form.

NOTE: The granulated sugar should not be added at once. First, add half, then blend. On low speed, beat the egg whites until they turn frothy. Then add the remaining granulated sugar and blend it at high speed until stiff peaks are formed. (Increase the speed while slowly adding the sugar.)

Now combine the sieved almond flour and powdered sugar in the egg white coloring mixture.

NOTE: Lastly add food color and lemon juice and lemon extract.

Gently fold the ingredients together. Mix them well to combine with the help of a spatula.

NOTE: Fold the mixture for combining it. Scrape the sides of the bowl starting from the center. And move gently as much as possible.

Next, add red food color and pink food color. Continue mixing it until you get the desired color and texture. Be careful not to overmix.
Now, take a small baking or piping bag. Fill the bag with batter fitted with a #6 and transfer the batter into the bag.
Next, draw 2-3 circles on the parchment paper or the baking sheet and fill them up from the center, moving the bag to the edges of the circles. Pipe the bag into a strawberry shaped macarons
Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper or baking sheet in 1½-inch circles, leaving at least 1-inch between two circles.

Check and make sure nothing sticks toyour finger before baking. If it doesn’t, you’re good to proceed further.
Preheat the oven to 150°. Then bake it at 140° Celsius for 20 minutes to get the macaron shells.
Once the macarons are baked, remove them from theoven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

For Instructions For Making Chocolate Buttercream:

For the strawberry macaron filling recipe, in a separate bowl, melt white and dark chocolate in low flame or in the microwave, adding some milk.

NOTE: After melting the white chocolate, do not pour it immediately. When melting white chocolate, use milk instead of water to avoid white chocolate burning.

Now take whipping cream in a separate bowl, beat it with the help of an electric beater. Mix powdered sugar and again beat it.
Lastly, add the melted white and dark chocolate mixture with the whipping cream mixture. Pour the unsalted butter. Again mix all of them well with the hand blender. And your filling with fresh strawberries is ready.

For Assembly Of Strawberry Macaron Shells And Chocolate-Butter Cream:

The first step is to demold the macarons from parchment paper. Then, place a single macaron at the bottom. Then fill in the chocolate buttercream using a baking or piping bag.
Place another macaron on top of the chocolate buttercream layer. Sandwich the macarons on the bottom with the one on the top.
