The BAM macaron mix makes them easy to prepare and the lemon cream adds a special fresh finish. They are at their best the next day, when the flavours have melded and the texture has fully set. ? Ingredients 1. For the macarons: 1 packet BAM macaron mix 50 ml water (room temperature) A little yellow food coloring (optional) 2. For the lemon cream: 60 g butter (room temperature) 60 g cream cheese (room temperature) 120 g powdered sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice Zest of 1 organic lemon ½ tbsp BAM vanilla paste A pinch of salt 3. For decoration: Fresh mint leaves (optional, as a lemon detail) ?? Instructions 1. Prepare the macaron mixture: In a bowl, mix the BAM macaron mix with water and add a few drops of yellow food coloring. Beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes, until you get a smooth, glossy mixture. 2. Shape the macarons: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe even rounds of about 10 g each onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let them rest for 15–20 minutes, until a thin crust forms on the surface. 3. Bake: Bake the macarons in a preheated oven at 150 °C (fan or top + bottom heat) for 15–18 minutes. Once baked, let them cool completely, then carefully remove from the parchment. 4. Prepare the lemon cream: In another bowl, mix butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, vanilla paste, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and airy. 5. Assemble the macarons: Pipe lemon cream onto half of the macarons. Optionally, add a small mint leaf as a “lemon detail,” then cover with the other half. 6. Chill and serve: Place the macarons in the fridge overnight so the cream sets and the flavors blend. They’re best the next day! bamchocolate #mojacokolada #bamspices #howto #howtomake #baking #cooking #spice #becomeamaster
