Ingredients:

• 75 grams egg whites 🥚
• 65 grams granulated sugar 🍬
• 2 grams cream of tartar 🍋
• 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder 🍵
• 200 grams white chocolate, finely chopped 
• 100 ml heavy cream 🥛

Directions:

Prepare Macaron Shells:
1️⃣ Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and matcha powder in a bowl.
2️⃣ In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
3️⃣ Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites gently until well combined. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
4️⃣ Pipe 1-inch rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tap the sheet on the counter to release air bubbles.
5️⃣ Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.

Bake Macaron Shells:
6️⃣ Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 17-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the sheet.

Prepare Filling:
7️⃣ For the filling, heat the cream until just boiling and pour over the white chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Chill until thickened.

Assemble Macarons:
8️⃣ Pair macarons of similar size, and pipe or spread the white chocolate ganache on one of the macaron shells. Sandwich with another shell.
