blueberry macarons

I'm in love with this beautiful cookies at a first bite, as you all know French macaron is really hard to make, tricky and moody But as long as you know the oven temperature and not over mixed the batter most of the time it came out perfectly, as a restaurant owner at BoBoKo Indonesian Cafe I have to make this "prettylicious" French macaron three times a week. Our customers was surprise they found a french macaron in Indonesian restaurant, I love to tell the story why there is French macarons in our cafe if they ask about it.










Ingredients :
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 eggs white
- 3 Tbsp granulate sugar
- 3 drop purple food coloring

Filling :
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese/room temperature
- 4 Tablespoon powder sugar
- 3/4 cup stonewall kitchen blueberry jam

Then work in the mixture (macaronage ) using plastic scraper, press down well with the scraper,going back and forward,to press out the oxygen from the white, Do this for 2-3 minutes until you have smooth mixture.
