Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blackberry Macarons
  1. Prepare the meringue by whipping aged egg whites until foamy, add granulated sugar, and whip to stiff peaks.
  2. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar into meringue and carefully fold until the batter flows like thick lava.
  3. Pipe small circles of batter on a parchment-lined baking sheet and tap to release air bubbles.
  4. Let the piped shells rest at room temperature until a skin forms, about 30-60 minutes.
  5. Bake the shells at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes, until they have risen and formed feet.
  6. Cool the baked macarons for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the filling by beating softened butter, blackberry puree, and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  8. Pair macaron shells by size, pipe buttercream onto one, and sandwich with another to complete the macarons.
