Add a splash of color to your dessert table with these beautiful homemade macarons! 🌈🍬

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
3 large egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Food coloring (variety of colors)
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
1-2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter into separate bowls (one for each color you want to make). Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and fold in gently.
Transfer the colored batter into piping bags. Pipe small circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set and can be easily removed from the parchment paper.
While the macarons are baking, prepare the filling by beating the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Once the macarons are cool, sandwich them together with the filling.

Creamy Pistachio Ice Cream

Ingredients:

1 cup shelled pistachios
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Green food coloring (optional)
Directions:

In a food processor, grind the pistachios and 1/4 cup of the sugar until fine.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and ground pistachio mixture. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat. Let it steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the pistachio milk through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Return the milk to the saucepan and add the cream. Heat until just simmering.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining sugar. Gradually pour the hot pistachio milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and food coloring, if using. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
