Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the aquafaba by measuring the liquid from two cans of chickpeas, simmer until reduced, and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whip the aquafaba with cream of tartar until frothy, gradually adding caster sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Sift together ground almonds and icing sugar. Fold into whipped aquafaba without overmixing.
- Pipe 2-inch circles of macaron batter on the baking sheets, resting at room temperature until a matte skin forms.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, cool on the sheets before removing.
- Beat together icing sugar, vegan margarine, and vanilla extract until fluffy, adding milk as needed.
- Assemble by pairing macaron shells, piping buttercream between them, and pressing together.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, letting sit at room temperature before serving.

Notes
Measure accurately with a digital scale and ensure clean utensils to prevent meringue issues. Never skip resting time after piping to achieve the perfect macaron foot.
