Macarons are my favorite because they're so light and crispy with buttercream that's made out of dreams!
Usually, I'm pretty bad at macarons. They're pretty finicky so you've gotta be pretty careful. But this recipe, it's so easy.
Your best bet is a stand mixer. You don't want to beat until the egg whites form stiff peaks with a handheld mixer!
You don't have to use food coloring. It makes the mango macarons a nice, soothing mango-like color. You can also use my mango jam to fill your macarons. I put it in the middle and the buttercream in the front.
