Christmas Tree Macarons with Vanilla Bean Buttercream
December 24, 2021
Merry Christmas everyone! Here's a Christmas Tree Macaron with Vanilla Bean Buttercream & Dark Chocolate Ganache to celebrate the holidays 🎄❤️
Here are the steps to cut a vanilla pod:
I made a pink Christmas tree and decorated it with mini macarons Christmas "baubles". Some of the mini macarons were painted with edible gold and silver dust to bring out the Christmas ornament effect. Not forgetting the star on top of the Christmas tree, which is also a macaron! ⭐️
For the filling, I paired Vanilla Bean Buttercream with Dark Chocolate Ganache for a balance of sweet and bitter. I used a vanilla bean pod from Spiced Quay. Their Madagascar Vanilla are ethically grown and cured in Madagascar. Considered the 'queen of the crops', these premium vanilla pods are First Quality NFN, which means they are 'non-split, non-blemish black' and of the highest quality. Being plump and moist, trust these pods to infuse bold aromas and flavors to any dish - perfect for my buttercream!
Here are the steps to cut a vanilla pod:
Step 1: Take a vanilla pod and a small sharp knife, slice down the center of the pod
Step 2: Gently remove the seeds by running your knife along the edge
*P.S. I only used 1/4 of a vanilla pod for this recipe as I made only a small batch of buttercream.
Have a jolly time making this recipe ❤️

Macaron Directions
[For Macaron Shells]
1. Make the meringue. In a bowl, beat the egg whites on low speed using an electric mixer
until it is white and frothy (approximately 1 minute). Gradually add
the sugar 1/4 at a time. When the first addition of sugar has
completely dissolved (approximately 1 minute later), increase the
mixer speed to medium and add until all the sugar has been
incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
2. Sift the almond flour and icing sugar to the
meringue.
3. Begin macaronage. Using a spatula, start
the macaronage process by folding and lightly scraping the top of the batter. When the wet and dry ingredients just start to become
combined (in other words, you can't see traces/clumps of almond flour/icing sugar in the meringue), scoop out 2 tablespoons of batter. At this point, the batter should
still be quite tacky.
4. Divide the batter you scooped out into two equal portions. To one of the portions, continue to macaronage until you get a molten-like mixture and drips down like a ribbon when lifted. This will form your white batter for the Christmas bauble decoration. Repeat for the other half, adding red food colouring to make red Christmas baubles. Transfer to a piping bag with a small tip.
5. To the remaining batter, add a bit of red food colouring to make pink batter. Continue to macaronage until you get a molten-like mixture and drips down like a ribbon when lifted.
6. Pipe out shells onto parchment paper. Please refer to
video above for demonstration.
7. Let the shells dry in a non humid place or an air conditioned room. You should be able to touch it gently with the tip of your finger without it sticking.

8. While waiting for the shells to dry, preheat the oven to 150°C. Bake the large shells & small shells in separate batches. Remove the smaller shells after 15 minutes, and the larger shells after approximately 20 minutes
9. Let shells cool and pipe with your desired filling. I piped mine with raspberry and dark chocolate ganache.
[For Vanilla Bean Buttercream]
1. Beat the softened unsalted butter.
2. Sift in icing sugar, and beat till it's white and fluffy.
3. Slice the vanilla bean pod in half, and gently scrape out the vanilla bean. Beat this into the buttercream till the texture is smooth.
[For Dark Chocolate Ganache]
1. Bring the heavy cream to a boil, and pour over the dark chocolate. Stir well, ensuring all the chocolate has melted, and transfer to a piping bag.
2. Let the ganache cool in the fridge and harden slightly before using.
[Assembly]
1. Pipe buttercream on a cake board. Place the largest macaron shell on top, and pipe the buttercream along the circumference. Fill the center with dark chocolate ganache.
2. Continue to stack the shells in descending sizes.
3. Melt the white compound chocolate and transfer to a piping bag with a small tip. Use this as a "glue"to stick the Christmas baubles and star on top of the tree
4. Pipe some white compound chocolate at the foot of the tree, and place the snowman macaron

I came across a post talking about a specific cyber specialist which I then introduce to my best friend who was ripped off while trying to invest in bitcoin mining, she really lost a lot while trading with those miners and the only way I could help her is to find a way for her to recover the funds she had invested. I reached out to the hacker and narrated my friend's situation to him and the rest is history. I was able to put a smile on my friend's face because she really thought her life was over as she invested all her life savings..

ReplyDeleteIn 2020, amidst the economic fallout of the pandemic, I found myself unexpectedly unemployed and turned to Forex trading in hopes of stabilizing my finances. Like many, I was drawn in by the promise of quick returns offered by various Forex robots, signals, and trading advisers.
