🍀 Mystic Water’s Pistachio Macarons 🍀


Ingredients

For Shells: 

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar 

  • 1 cup almond flour 

  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature 

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 

  • Green gel food coloring 


For Pistachio Filling: 

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar 

  • 2–3 tablespoons pistachio paste 


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shells:  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. 

  2. Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour together into a bowl. Set aside. 

  3. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the granulated sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. 

  4. Add a small amount of green gel food coloring and gently fold it into the egg whites for an even color. 

  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the meringue mixture until it reaches a “lava-like” consistency, ensuring it flows slowly without being too runny. 

  6. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe small circles (about 1 inch) onto the prepared baking sheets. 

  7. Tap the baking sheets on the counter to release air bubbles. Let the macarons rest at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or until a thin skin forms on the surface. 

  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes. Allow them to cool completely before removing from the parchment paper.

  9. Prepare the Pistachio Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. 

  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. 

  11. Mix in the pistachio paste until the filling is fully combined.

  12. Assemble the Macarons: Pair the macaron shells by size. Pipe a small dollop of pistachio filling onto one shell and gently press a matching shell on top to create a sandwich. 

  13. Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to mature.


Just like the town of Mystic Water, these macarons hold a bit of whimsy and wonder—perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or indulging in a cozy afternoon read! If you love small-town magic, secrets hidden in plain sight, and a bakery that serves more than just pastries, make sure to check out the Mystic Water Series! Who knows? You might just find a little luck along the way.


🍀 Sláinte! And may your day be as sweet as these macarons! 🍀
