CBD frozen macaroons: let's get ready!
Yes, macarons can be intimidating at first glance, but it only takes a little elbow grease to master this iconic dessert.
Start by sifting the almond powder and icing sugar together to obtain a fine and airy texture... it's the secret to perfect macaron shells! Strain your mixture dry twice through a sieve. The regularity of the powder guarantees a smooth and delicate macaron surface.
Then, beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the powdered sugar. Look for firm peaks that hold onto the whisk, a sign of a meringue ready to be colored and flavored.
The gourmet's tip: add the food coloring at the start of assembly for a uniform color. Opt for gel or powder colorings so as not to alter the texture of your meringue.
Whip the crème fraîche with the honey and vanilla seeds until smooth. Gently incorporate the CBD oil to merge the flavors and virtues of legal hemp.
Little tip: prepare the CBD ice cream in advance and let it set in the freezer for a perfect texture when garnishing your macarons.
Once your shells have cooled, gently combine them with a spoon of CBD ice cream in the center. Squeeze lightly to create your frozen macaron. Let the frozen macaroons sit in the freezer for at least an hour before serving so that the ice cream has time to harden slightly and the flavors blend together harmoniously.
