Lemon Macarons

Vibrant lemon yellow colour

A macaron is a refined meringued-based cookie sandwich, with a crisp shell and a lush filling.

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, dessert may seems like an irresistible treat to others, to me I can take it or leave it.

Macarons are sweet, a little too sweet for my liking most of the time. Being a finicky cookie, reducing sugar in the recipe can often be disastrous. So the other way is to work on the filling.

These lemon macarons are a delight as the tartness of the lemon filling completely balances the sweetness of the macarons.

Yellow – the colour of sunshine, the colour of happiness.
