Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift together almond flour and icing sugar.
  2. Whip the Egg Whites: Beat aged egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Fold the almond flour and icing sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites gently, adding pink food coloring to achieve the desired hue.
  4. Pipe the Macaron Shells: Pipe small circles onto the baking sheets, leaving space in between. Tap the sheets to release air bubbles.
  5. Rest the Macarons: Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until they form a skin.
  6. Bake the Macaron Shells: Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm tops develop, then cool on the baking sheets.
  7. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Beat softened butter with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries until smooth, adding rose water to taste.
  8. Assemble the Macarons: Pair the cooled macaron shells and pipe filling onto one shell, then sandwich with the other shell.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Decorate with edible rose petals and mint leaves, then chill before serving.
