Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich

April 4, 2016

Chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla have never looked so good! I made about 15 or 16 of these and they didn’t last an hour in my home. I guess I’ll have to make more? This is the best way I can think of to kick off the #MacaronWeek! Let’s dive in.

For decoration, I like to flick red food coloring over the tops of the macarons.  I used a 2 tsp water to 1 drop of gel food coloring ratio.

After they’ve dried for 10 minutes, put them in the oven and bake at 280°F for 15 minutes.

When the macarons have finished baking, carefully remove them from the tray and let them cool.

Repeat this process for the chocolate macarons, adding an additional 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to the original recipe above.

When both cookies have baked, put them in the freezer to cool.

Once cooled, pipe strawberry ice cream onto one flavor of the macarons and gently sandwich it between that and the opposite flavor.

Screen Shot 2016-04-04 at 10.04.28 AM

Let these ice cream sandwiches set up in the freezer for about 2 hours and ENJOY!

    Hollows, hollows, hollows! Yours is the best recipe I’ve tried so far, but I still get hollows. I noticed that this time you reduced the oven temp to 280F from 300F. Any special reason for that?
