Basic Kratom Macarons Recipe
Although making macarons may seem difficult, this recipe makes the process easier than it sounds. However, keep in mind that you should have at least intermediate cooking skills to prepare kratom macarons.
Finally, always remember to measure your kratom powder carefully so you’ll know how many macarons to eat to reach your desired dosage.
Ingredients for the batter
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 55 gr. egg white
- 50 gr. egg white
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 drops lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- Food coloring (optional)
The egg whites should be aged and at room temperature. This means separating them from the yolks and letting them sit covered in the refrigerator overnight, then bringing them to room temperature before preparing your macarons.
Directions to prepare the batter
- To prepare the batter, add the confectioners’ sugar, almond flour, and a pinch of salt to a bowl and mix well. Don’t forget to sift the flour and sugar first. Then add the 55-gr. egg white and continue mixing with a spatula until you achieve a smooth texture. If you prefer, you can use a food processor or blender.
- Once the flour and sugar are fully combined, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until you reach your desired color. (This step is optional, but it will give your macarons a more appealing appearance.) Set aside.
- Next, beat the remaining egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature.
- Pour the ¼ cup sugar and lemon juice into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes clear, stirring constantly. Then slowly pour it over the egg whites while continuing to beat. The mixture is ready when stiff peaks form.
- Add the previously mixed almond flour and sugar to the beaten egg whites gradually, not all at once. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together. Continue folding slowly until the batter flows in ribbons. When the mixture is ready, you should be able to form a figure 8 when lifting the spatula. Let it rest uncovered for 20–30 minutes.
Directions to bake the macarons
- Fit a piping bag with a round tip and fill it with the batter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then pipe evenly sized rounds about 2 inches wide, leaving at least 1 inch of space between them. To remove air bubbles, gently tap the baking sheet on the counter 4–5 times. Let the batter dry for 1–2 hours before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
- When you can lightly touch the macarons, and the batter no longer sticks, bake them for 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the feet have risen well, and the tops are crisp.
- Allow them to cool completely before removing them from the parchment paper.
Ingredients for the filling
- ½ cup butter
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 1/8 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tsp kratom powder
Directions to prepare the filling
- Beat the butter at room temperature until creamy and fluffy.
- Then add the milk, confectioners’ sugar, and kratom powder, and mix until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and fill the macarons. Pipe a small amount of filling onto one macaron shell, then top it with another shell to create a sandwich. Repeat until all the shells are filled.
- Let the macarons rest in an airtight container for 24 hours.
Enjoy!
