Two weeks ago in middle of moving boxes and only few hours before we started packing the kitchen, I decided to do one last batch of macarons, in that kitchen.
For the last 18 months that kitchen was the heart of our home, I spent there most of the time I’d be at home and naturally left it to be packed last.
Earlier that day I was removing a giant butterfly puzzle from one of the walls and got the idea to do butterfly shaped macarons.
This was a quick attempt on something I will work on more before a full post so this time I am just going to share some pictures and share the recipe for cardamom cream cheese frosting, that I used as filling in these macarons.
Ingredients
- 125 grams Philadelphia cream cheese softened
- 25 grams unsalted butter softened
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed cardamom seeds
Servings: macaron cookiesUnits:Instructions
- Place cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and beat on medium low speed for a minute then sift in half of the powdered sugar and cardamom seeds, continue beating for 2 minutes then add remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Recipe NotesI made this for filling macarons, but it would be just as perfect for cupcakes or on a coffeecake.
