Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by sifting the powdered sugar and almond flour together twice into a bowl. Set aside and allow egg whites to reach room temperature.
- Beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy, then gradually add cream of tartar and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Add green gel food coloring to meringue and gently fold in until desired hue is achieved.
- Fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue until smooth and slightly thick.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe into tree shapes or circles on lined baking sheets.
- Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until they develop a skin.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake macarons for 14-16 minutes, then cool completely.
- Beat softened unsalted butter until fluffy, then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and crumbled snack cakes.
- Pipe filling onto half of the macaron shells and top with remaining shells to create sandwiches.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over macarons, sprinkle with décor and add edible gold stars.
