Ingredients

  • 200 g white couverture chocolate
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp carrot juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 20 g pine nuts
  • 60 g ground almonds (peeled)
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • orange food coloring

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Melt the couverture over a hot water bath with the cream. Stir in the carrot and lemon juices. Finely chop the pine nuts, stir them into the mixture, remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2.

    Preheat the oven to 150°C (302°F) with both top and bottom heating.

  3. 3.

    Grind the almonds with powdered sugar finely and sift through a fine sieve onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes and then allow to cool.

  4. 4.

    Beat the egg whites until stiff, letting the vanilla sugar dissolve. Add the almond mixture on top and fold in. Color with orange food coloring. Fill a piping bag and pipe about 30 dots onto parchment-lined tray. Let them dry slightly for about an hour.

  5. 5.

    Preheat the oven again to 150°C (302°F) with both top and bottom heating. Bake the macarons for 10-12 minutes. Carefully remove from the tray and cool. Spread the carrot cream on half of the shells, place the remaining shells on top, and serve.
