Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300° F.
2. Place egg whites and caster sugar in a bowl and mix with electric mixer until stiff enough to turn the bowl upside down without it falling out. Whip for 1-2 more minutes.
3. Add food coloring, if desired, and continue to mix for a further 20 seconds.
4. Sift the almond meal, icing sugar & salt twice. Fold into the egg white mixture. It should take roughly 30-50 folds using a rubber spatula.
5. Pipe onto trays lined with non-stick parchment paper. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until macarons come off tray cleanly. Cool completely before filling.
6. To make filling, allow goat cheese to temper to room temperature. Blend all ingredients in mixer and pipe onto macaron. Place second macaron on top of goat cheese mixture, and serve.
