Instructions
Line 2 biscuit slides with baking paper.
Warm a small mixing bowl and beaters.
Starting with eggs at room temperature separate the whites and beat in a small bowl with an electric mixer until you reach the soft peaks stage.
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. Gently fold the dry ingredients through the meringue.
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, leave them macaron on the tray to cool.
Ganache
While the macaroons are cooling heat the cream to boiling.
Pour the cream over the white chocolate and stir through until the mix is smooth.
Mix well, then allow the ganache to stand and cool.
Once the macaroons are cooled and is a spreadable consistency, sandwich the macaroons together and dust with icing sugar.
