Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sift together powdered sugar and almond flour in a large bowl twice to ensure no lumps remain.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat room-temperature egg whites until foamy. Gradually add cream of tartar and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently mix in the green gel food coloring into the meringue until the desired shade is achieved.
- Carefully fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue until it reaches a lava-like consistency.
- Transfer the macaron batter to a piping bag and pipe tree-shaped outlines onto lined baking sheets.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the macarons for 14-16 minutes.
- Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Beat softened butter until fluffy, then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, heavy cream, and crumbled snack cakes.
- Use a piping bag to pipe the filling onto half of the cooled macaron shells and cover with the remaining shells.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the assembled macarons, then add sprinkles or edible gold stars.
- Refrigerate the assembled macarons in an airtight container for at least 24 hours.
