Magical Macaron Lollipops

Print Recipe

Magical Macaron Lollipops are whimsical, colorful French-style macarons mounted on sticks, filled with sweet buttercream and perfect for parties or gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Gel food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for buttercream)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • Lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour into a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue in batches until the batter flows like lava.
  5. Add gel food coloring if desired and mix until evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe small circles onto the baking sheets.
  7. Tap the baking sheets against the counter to release air bubbles and let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until a skin forms.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the macarons have risen and set.
  9. Let them cool completely on the tray before removing.
  10. To make the buttercream, beat the softened butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until smooth and fluffy.
  11. Pipe the buttercream onto the flat side of a macaron shell, press a lollipop stick into the filling, and top with another shell to form a sandwich.
  12. Allow the macarons to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

Notes

  • Macarons are sensitive to humidity; try to make them on a dry day.
  • Let the macarons mature in the fridge for 24 hours for best flavor and texture.
  • Use gel coloring to avoid adding excess moisture to the batter.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
