2 tbsp Suncore Foods® Lilac Taro Yam Powder
1/2 tsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder
Macaron
Ingredients
50g reduced aquafaba *refrigerated overnight
1g cream of tartar
38g superfine sugar
85g powdered sugar
60g almond flour
2 tsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder
Directions
1. Prepare the Filling — Heat the whipping cream in a saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, add Suncore Foods® Lilac Taro Yam Powder and Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder, mix until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap. Place ganache in the fridge until needed.
2. Prepare the the Aquafaba — Strain the liquid from the canned chickpeas and weigh to 150g. In a saucepan cook chickpea water on a very low heat and reduce to 60g, stirring occasionally. When it reaches 60g, transfer to a bowl, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3. Make the Macaron — Combine the powdered sugar, almond meal, Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder, and place in a food processor. Blend to achieve a finer consistency then pass through a sieve. Set aside.
4. Whisk the 50g aquafaba with the cream of tartar and one third of the sugar until a medium peak. Gradually add in the remaining sugar and continue whisking for 4 mins. Add the supercolour powder whisk for 2 mins until combine.
5. Fold the almond powdered sugar mixture through the meringue by hand. Mix until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Pipe macarons on a baking sheet, let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before baking. Bake at 150°C for approximately 13-15 mins. Allow macarons to cool completely.
6. Assemble, pipe taro yam filling into each macaron and sandwich together.
