In a fusion of sweet and nostalgic flavours, the S'mores Campfire Macarons are a perfect treat for your summer gatherings. This recipe, although not attributed to a specific creator in our search results, promises an enjoyable and fun experience in the kitchen.
To begin, gather your ingredients: a kitchen scale, baking sheets, parchment paper or silicone mats, s'mores macaron template, piping bags, a hand mixer or stand mixer, large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, 3 small to medium mixing bowls, a sifter, rubber spatula, toothpick or cookie scribe, 50g egg whites, 40g granulated sugar, 50g almond flour, 50g powdered sugar, and gel food coloring in purple, brown, and yellow.
The process starts with whipping egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Next, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar, and gradually fold it into the whipped egg whites. Divide the batter into four equal portions and add a tiny drop of food coloring to each, creating four colors: white, tan, brown, and yellow.
Now, pipe the macaron batter using the s'mores macaron template as a guide beneath parchment paper or a silicone mat. Be sure to pop any air bubbles that form with a toothpick or cookie scribe. Let the macarons sit out between one and two hours or until they're dry to the touch.
Bake the macarons at 325°F for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once baked, let them cool before proceeding to the next step.
Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache by microwaving semisweet chocolate and heavy cream until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in graham cracker crumbs until combined. Refrigerate the ganache until it's thick enough to pipe.
To assemble the S'mores Campfire Macarons, pipe a ring of graham cracker chocolate ganache on the perimeter of the bottom macaron shell. Pipe all marshmallows first, followed by graham crackers, fire, and chocolate, using the remaining white batter to pipe the backs of each macaron.
Top with the matching macaron shell and enjoy! These delightful treats are best eaten at room temperature and can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to one month.
So, gather your friends and family around the bonfire and enjoy these S'mores Campfire Macarons, a sweet reminder of summer nights spent around the campfire.
