Orange Macaroon
Orange Macaroon
3 egg whites (at room temp)
¼ cup caster sugar
4 drops yellow food colouring
2 drops red food colouring
1 ¼ cups pure icing sugar (sifted)
1 cup almond meal
1 T/s orange juice
Finely grated rind of 1 orange
Orange Ganache
¼ cup cream
160gm white choc
8 drops yellow food colouring
3 drops red food colouring
1 T/s orange juice
Finely grated rind of 2 oranges
Method:
Line 2 biscuit slides with baking paper.
Warm the mixing bowl and beaters. Starting with eggs at room temperature separate the whites and beat in a small bowl with an electric mixer. Beat until soft peaks form and then add the caster sugar slowly, beat until the sugar is dissolved. Add the drops of colouring and mix briefly until combined.
Transfer the mixture to a bigger bowl and add ½ of the sifted icing sugar, ½ of the almond meal, orange juice and grated rind. Fold gently through the mix until combined. Add the remaining ingredients folding gently.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a 1cm plain tube. Pipe 4cm round macaroons onto tray leaving 1 inch for spreading.
Leave the tray to stand for 30mins. Preheat the oven to 130 degrees.
Bake macaroons for 20mins, when cooked leave on the tray to cool.
While the macaroons are cooking heat the cream to boiling.
Pour the cream over the white chocolate and stir through until the mix is smooth. Add the colouring, orange juice and rind. Mix well, stand to cool.
Once the macaroons are cooled and the ganache has cooled to a spreadable consistency sandwich the macaroons together and dust with icing sugar.

I love macaroons and these sound fabulous, I'm going to try this recipe on the weekend.
Thank you so much for the positive comments. They were so good! Although my family polished them off before I managed seconds :(
The recipe always works for me, but I am very particular about warming the bowl and beaters, having a warm room and eggs at room temperature. (Its a left over from high school home ec class)
Hi, jus wondering how many this makes? Thank you!
The recipe makes about 10- 12 complete macarons, depending on the size.

I wish I had you for my mum when I was 5!

A lot of your blogs will be interactively design and style that visitor share data to read your blog.
Thank you so much, it is going to be a wonderful surprise for my Mum, I wish everyone a great day with your own special people, those who helped you become who you are today.
Mum definitely deserves the hamper, because she is an amazing woman that has brought up 3 kids through tough times. She is the best mum a son could ask for.
She's had it tough, working hard
deserving much more than just a card
So let's raise a glass and toast her true
The best person in the world - Mum, that's you!
Thanks for the info on Rasa Malaysia's book. I used to visit her website for recipes but some time ago, igot a new PC and forgot to bookmark it!
You're too modest Julie! You did a great job with the cake! :D
Yellow strawberries and cream is just perfect for mum as a reward for putting up with two kids who were a pain in the bum.
I would have loved to have seen those martini glasses! Hope Miss A had a lovely time celebrating turning 5 :D
It shouldn't. It should go to me as whilst trying to make sure my mum, step-mum, MIL, Step-MIL, 3 x Grandmas are spoilt on Mother's Day, I always seem to get forgotten!
My poor old mum is battling to care for my step dad who has advanced Parkinsons. My real dad who has had a stroke still expects her to be there for him, my bro is going bankrupt and she lives two states away from her only gransdon. Her life has little joy- JUst wish for one thing nice to happen to her. We all love our mums, good luck to you all!
Perfect place to relax and forget about all the troubles we have in the city and just unwind ~ can't wait to go to somewhere like this hehe
