Recipe
1
Preheat the oven to a low temperature, around 140°C (285°F), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Dry roast the cashew nuts on low heat until they are just fragrant, taking care not to let them brown, then cool completely.
3
In a clean, dry blender, grind the cooled cashews along with the icing sugar into a very fine powder.
4
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
5
Gradually fold the cashew-sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites gently, ensuring you do not deflate the air.
6
Add the vanilla extract and fold until a smooth, piping consistency is achieved.
7
Pipe small mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
8
Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes until the macarons are crisp on the outside and pale golden, then cool completely before serving with hot filter coffee.
