Ingredients
Macarons
50g reduced aquafaba *refrigerated overnight
1g cream of tartar
38g superfine sugar
85g powdered sugar
60g almond flour
2 tsp Suncore Foods® Canary Yellow Safflower Supercolor Powder
Pinch of Suncore Foods® Green Turmeric Powder

White chocolate ganache
Directions
1. Prepare 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.
2. Make the macaron - Combine the powdered sugar, almond meal, safflower powder & turmeric and place in a food processor. Blend to achieve a finer consistency then pass through a sieve. Set aside.
3. Whisk the room temperature 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 5 mins.
4. Fold the almond powdered sugar mixture through the meringue by hand until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Pipe macarons on a baking sheet, let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before baking.
5. Bake at 150°C for approximately 13-15 mins. Allow macarons to cool completely.
