Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and beetroot powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whip the aged egg whites with cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until foamy.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until you achieve stiff peaks, which may take about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites using a spatula for a smooth batter.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip for precise piping.
- Pipe 3 cm rounds of batter onto lined baking sheets, allowing space between each.
- Tap the baking sheets gently on the counter to release any air bubbles and allow the shells to rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the shells rise slightly and form a delicate foot.
- Let the shells cool completely before removing them.
Filling and Assembly
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh goat cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Whip until smooth.
- Fold in the toasted walnuts.
- Match up the cooled macaron shells in pairs, then pipe a generous amount of filling onto one shell.
- Sandwich it with another shell, pressing gently to distribute the filling evenly.
- Chill the assembled macarons in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
