Orange macarons and hibiscus creamcheese.

Just in time before X'mas.

Not many hours left before X'mas, is there anything in your wish list that you haven't baked it this year?.
I still have a long list, but I couldn't wait until next year to bake another batch of macarons.

I've heard that adding meringue powder into egg whites will help to produce a nice macs. Yes, I wanted to give it a try. Special thanks to Evecakesdiary who gave me some meringue powder plus some tips on how to make a nice mousse cake.

For my first experiment, I just used the recipe that I always bake and add 1 g of meringue powder to 60 g of egg whites. I didn't see any significant difference in the final appearance of my macs, but my macs is more chewy inside which is nice. I think my macs are more fragile this time because the shell is very thin.

It's my first experiment, so I still don't want to conlclude that all are the effect of adding meringue powder. It could be me!!! There will be the second trial next year.

I wanted to make a bright color macs for a joyful season, so I chose orange macarons with hibiscus creamcheese as the filling. We fell in love of hibiscus creamcheese after I tried it in my previous post of macarons.

I used the same baking method as in baking "Hibiscus macarons" , I didn't dry the skin. After piping the batter on prepared tray, I sent it to the oven. This time I baked for 18 mins and none of them cracked.

If you would like to add some colors on your party table, you still have enough time to bake macarons....it's fun, it's delicious and I'm sure everyone will love it.

Merry X'mas everyone.
