Method
 

Preparing Macarons
  1. Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and beetroot powder into a bowl. Whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar.
  2. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients until smooth, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  3. Line baking trays with parchment paper, transfer batter to piping bag, and pipe 3 cm rounds. Tap trays to release air bubbles, then let sit for 30–45 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) and bake shells for 14–16 minutes until firm.
Assembling
  1. In a bowl, whip goat cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and fold in chopped walnuts.
  2. Once shells are cool, pipe filling onto one shell and gently press a second shell on top. Chill assembled macarons for 30 minutes before serving.
