Instructions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the 2 grams of gelatin in 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of cold water for about 10 minutes. In a saucepan, gently heat the strawberry purée along with the glucose syrup.
Once heated, dissolve the soaked gelatin in the warm mixture. Afterward, pour this mixture over the finely chopped white chocolate, allowing it to sit for a couple of minutes to melt the chocolate.
Blend the combination using an immersion blender until it is completely smooth. Finally, add in the cold mascarpone and blend again until well combined.
To stabilize the ganache, place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. After it sets, whip it until you see the first signs of whisk marks.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine 90 grams of coconut cream with the 20 grams of sugar and 5 grams of cornstarch. Stir in 5 grams of shredded coconut and heat the mixture until it thickens.
Once thickened, incorporate the hydrated gelatin and ensure it is well dissolved. After the mixture cools, fold in the 30 grams of softened unsalted butter.
Blend this mixture until smooth, then allow it to stabilize in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
Once set, use a piping bag to place the coconut cream in the center of your macarons.
Servings
Once your Coconut-Strawberry Macarons are ready, the fun doesn't stop there! **Serve** them on a beautiful platter ✨ to delight your guests or surprise your family. Pair these stunning macarons with freshly brewed coffee or a cup of tea for an afternoon treat that feels special. You could also incorporate them into a dessert table at events such as weddings or birthday parties. ❤️
For those who love a little flair, consider **garnishing** your macarons with some extra coconut flakes or drizzling them with melted chocolate. Garnishing adds an exquisite touch that visually enhances the whole treat, making it even more appealing! 🍫
If you're feeling particularly festive, arrange them with small fruit garnishes like mini strawberries or pineapple slices around the base of the platter, creating a vibrant and inviting display. Your guests won’t be able to resist an irresistible macaron!
Equipment
Choose sturdy glass or metal bowls to effectively mix your ingredients without any risk of reaction.
A good quality mixer is essential to whip your egg whites perfectly for light and airy macarons. We highly recommend using a stand mixer for steady mixing!
Disposable piping bags work wonders for neat and precise decorating. Pair with a round tip for perfect macaron shapes!
These mats will help prevent sticking and ensure even baking. They’re reusable, making them a great eco-friendly choice!
Opt for heavy-duty baking sheets that can withstand high temperatures, ensuring even cooking.
Variations
If you're looking for **gluten-free** and **vegan** options, you'll be pleased to know that macarons can easily be adapted to fit those diets! To make these macarons gluten-free, simply ensure your almond flour is certified gluten-free, and you're good to go! 🌱
For a **vegan** version, you can substitute the egg whites with aquafaba (the water from chickpeas) which will whip up beautifully into a meringue-like consistency. Replace the butter in the ganache with coconut oil or a vegan margarine for a deliciously creamy filling. 🌿 The flavors will still shine through, delivering that same beautiful coconut-strawberry combo!
Faq
- Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
No, regular flour will not yield the same result. It's vital to use almond flour for the macaron's signature texture.
- How do I know when my macarons are ready to bake?
Your macarons should have a nice smooth surface and form a “skin” after piping, allowing them to set for about 30-60 minutes before baking.
- What can I do if my macarons are cracking while baking?
This may be due to over-mixing your batter or baking at a temperature that's too high. Ensure you're mixing just until incorporated and keep an eye on your oven temperature.
- How can I avoid foot issues on my macarons?
A common issue is not letting the macarons rest properly before baking. Make sure you leave the piped shells out until they develop a skin, which helps them rise correctly.
- What’s the best way to store macarons after they’re made?
Store macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well; just remember to let them come to room temperature before serving!
- Can I make the macaron shells ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the shells a day in advance and store them in an airtight container until you're ready to fill them.
