Ingredients
– 200 g super fine almond flour
– 130 g powdered sugar
– 140 g egg whites (at room temperature)
– 150 g fine granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons cream of tartar (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons black gel food coloring
– 110 g cream cheese, softened
– 115 g unsalted butter, softened
– 240 g powdered sugar (for filling)
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt (for filling)
– 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
– 15 large marshmallows (for decoration)
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: preheating your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper for a smooth process.
2-Sift dry ingredients: sift 200 g of super fine almond flour and 130 g of powdered sugar together twice to ensure a fine texture.
3-Whip egg whites: whip 140 g of egg whites with 150 g of fine granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt on medium speed until soft peaks form, then add 2 teaspoons of black gel food coloring and continue until stiff peaks with sharp ridges appear.
4-Fold dry ingredients: gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the meringue until fully incorporated, making sure the batter flows slowly and edges dissolve within 8-10 seconds when tested.
5-Piping and Baking Steps: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe six 5.5-inch circles onto your prepared sheets. Tap the sheets firmly to remove air bubbles and let the batter rest for 15 minutes. Bake one sheet at a time for 23-25 minutes until the shells are firm and donβt wobble, then cool them completely before handling.
6-Prepare filling and assemble: beat 110 g of softened cream cheese and 115 g of unsalted butter until fluffy, then add 240 g of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of red gel food coloring. Beat until smooth and transfer to a piping bag. Assemble by layering the macaron shells with the filling, chill in the refrigerator, and for decoration, microwave 15 large marshmallows for 15-30 seconds, stretch them into strands, and wrap around the cake for a spiderweb effect. Finally, refrigerate the cake for at least 8 hours and bring it to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
