INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS

FOR THE MACARONS:

100 g aquafaba (place in the fridge overnight)
125 g almonds or coconut flakes, blanched
125 g icing sugar
125 g granulated sugar
1 tbsp mint flavor
1 tbsp green food coloring
Pinch of salt

FOR THE FILLING:

1 pack Violife Creamy Original
1 medium ripe avocado
½ tbsp vanilla paste
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

To make the macarons beat the almonds or coconut in a blender along with the icing sugar. Pass through a sieve.
In a separate bowl, add the aquafaba with a pinch of salt. Beat with a hand mixer and slowly add the sugar. When the mixture begins to look like a fluffy meringue and soft peaks form, use a spatula to fold in air.
Add the green food coloring and mint flavor whilst folding with the spatula.
Place merengue in a piping back and pipe out small circles or use a St Patrick’s Day cookie cutter on a lined baking tray.
Preheat oven at 130 °C and bake for 13-15 minutes.
To make the filling add all ingredients in a blender and blitz until creamy. Place in a piping bag and fill half of the macarons, placing the other half on top of the filled ones like a sandwich.
Store in the fridge.
