Magical Tri-Colored Unicorn Macarons with Green Tea Swiss Buttercream

6.5Kshares

Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Mine was spent baking my little heart out for clients and holiday gifts. It was a crazy time (but when are the holidays not?) so I was happy to pack my bags and get away on a trip to Europe on Christmas Eve. Not only was it a nice departure from the crazy holiday season, it was much needed after a 2016 that was not a very easy one for me. Nope, it was not an easy one even right up to the very last day of the year but unexpectedly, my first day of 2017 gave me a brand new adventure and I ended up extending my stay in Europe. (More on that and my trip in a future post.) In the spirit of more magical adventures ahead for 2017, I bring to you these Multi-Colored Unicorn Macarons.

I hope you enjoy making them. Watch the video tutorial below to see how I did it.

Lot’s more to share with you this year and I wish you a very magical 2017!

XOXO,

Mimi

– Yellow Gel Colour (1 drops of Yellow from Americolor)

SUPPLIES besides ones used for regular macarons:

♥To make the three different batter colors, follow instructions on my ORIGINAL Best French Macaron Tutorial ♥

Piping Tips Used:

For piping the macaron shell: Wilton Round 10

For piping the buttercream in the shell and around the horn: Wilton Star 16

 

 

 

Small Batch of Edible Glue for Applying the Unicorn Horn

♥ 20 grams icing sugar

♥ 1 1/2 tsp. of meringue powder

♥ water in a spritzer bottle

Combine the dry ingredients in a glass bowl. Spritz the water onto the dry ingredients a little at a time and then blend everything together until you reach a thick consistency. If it’s too runny, add more sugar. A spritzer is great for controlling the amount of water you are adding at one time.

 

 

 

♥ GREEN TEA SWISS BUTTERCREAM

– 65 gr egg whites
– 130 gr granulated sugar
– 195 gr butter at room temperature
– pinch of salt
– 4 teaspoon matcha powder

Swiss Buttercream Instructions

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
  2. Place egg whites, salt and sugar into a heat proof bowl. Stainless steel is light and safe.
  3. Whisk the whites & sugar mix over the boiling water.
  4. Pay attention to whisking the mixture when it starts getting hot, you don’t want to cook the eggs.
  5. Whisk the mixture until the temperature reaches 160F. This temperature is generally accepted to be able to kill salmonella in eggs.
  6. Pour the mixture into the Kitchenaid mixer and whisk on low with the balloon whisk, then turn it up to medium.
  7. Once the mixture is stiff and the bottom of the bowl is cool to the touch, stop mixer. Change the whisk attachment to the paddle attachment.
  8. Add butter a little bit at a time while mixing with the paddle attachment at medium speed.
  9. Add vanilla extract
  10. The mixture might look curdled or separated for a while but keep mixing. It will all come together.
  11. Add matcha powder a teaspoon at a time until fully incorporated.
  12. Buttercream can be kept at room temperature until use within the same day.

Unicorn macarons are definitely good but unicorns with rainbow horns hanging onto a cupcake topped with cotton candy are GREAT!

Bet you didn’t know this but I too have problems with my home oven. I always tell all of you to know your own oven well because every oven is different.
