Celebrity Cruises: Macaroon Rose Lychee Recipe - Chef Jacques Van Staden

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients:
2 ounces egg whites
1/2 ounce sugar
3 ounces icing sugar
3 ounces almond powder
Red color as needed
Rose water as needed
Dash of Fleur de sel

Procedure:
Whip the egg whites and add in the 2 ounces of sugar. When the egg whites reach snow point, add in the rest of the ingredients. Pipe 3/4 -inch diameter and spray a little of fleur de sel and bake at 250°C for 5 minutes. Then change to another oven at 180°C until set. When removing the macaroons from the oven, place a small amount of water under the paper to provoke steam (it is easier to remove the macaroons and the bottom stays soft). Then load the macaroons with the filling made of almond paste, butter and lychee puree.
