Ingredients

  • 1 Président Camembert
  • 70g icing sugar
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 10g caster sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 10g Dijon mustard
  • Salt
  • Red food colouring (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the macarons: mix the icing sugar with the ground almonds and pass through a fine sieve.

Step 2

Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks with a pinch of salt, sprinkle over the sugar and add the colouring.

Step 3

When the egg whites are firm, gently fold in the ground almond and mustard with a spatula.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe the macarons on to a sheet of baking parchment.

Step 5

Transfer to a baking tray. Leave to rest for 15 minutes then cook in a preheated oven at 140°C with the fan switched on.

Step 6

Cook for 10 minutes with the oven door ajar.

Step 7

Once they are cooked, remove the baking tray and pour a little bit of water under the baking parchment.

Step 8

This will release steam to stop the macarons from sticking.

Step 9

Once the macarons are cold, stick 2 together with a small piece of Camembert cut out with a biscuit cutter.
