  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 110 g egg whites Use fresh egg whites for the best meringue.
  • 30 g granulated sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
Meringue
  1. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue until smooth and glossy.
Baking
  1. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Rest the piped shells for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
  3. Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes until set, ensuring they do not brown. Allow to cool completely.
Ganache Preparation
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the white chocolate and let sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Fill half of the cooled macaron shells with the white chocolate ganache and top with another shell.
  2. Decorate with melted white chocolate to create mummy designs and add candy eyes.
Serving
