Heart Shaped Macaroons and Recipe for Valentines Day


Are you all in a Valentine's mood yet? I sure am... I got hearts in my mind! 

The last time I made macaroons I was so excited that they actually turned out, that I just had to try making them again... this time since Valentine's Day is around the corner I thought I would make them in the shape of a heart. 

Aren't they adorable? To make the heart, I just piped them out in a "V" shape.

Heart Shaped Macaroons and Recipe for Valentines Day

Seriously could they be any cuter? This time I used a chocolate ganache filling.... sooooo yummy! 

Heart Shaped Macaroons and Recipe for Valentines Day

Here is the recipe I used:

4 large egg whites (or 5 small – 140g (4.94 ounces))
1/3 cup caster sugar (70g (2.47 ounces))
1 1/2 cups icing sugar (230g (8.11 ounces))
1 cup almond meal (120g (4.23 ounces))
2g (0.07 ounces) salt (tiny pinch)
gel food coloring (optional)
Click here to see where the recipe came from and all the tips and tricks to make the perfect French Macaroon. Ann walks you through every possibility!

Hope you enjoyed my heart mac's, I know I did!

    These are adorable. I've never attempted macaroons before but these look pretty easy, and I love the pink for Valentine's Day!

    I would LOVE it if you'd link this up to The Pinspiration Project!

    Very cute! I've tried making them before but failed miserably. They came out hard as a rock but looked perfect! You've inspired me to try again and this time I'll try your recipe!
