Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1.75 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 drops pink food coloring
  • 1/2 cup lemon buttercream

Method
 

  1. Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together. Whip the egg whites with granulated sugar to stiff peaks, then add pink coloring.
  2. Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue until the batter flows like lava.
  3. Pipe small rounds onto parchment-lined sheets and rest 30 minutes until a skin forms.
  4. Bake at 300F for 14 to 15 minutes, then cool completely.
  5. Sandwich pairs of shells with lemon buttercream and chill before serving.

Notes

Let the piped shells rest until they're dry to the touch — that's how you get the signature feet.
