Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond flour
1 3/4 cups icing sugar
3 large egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup raspberry puree (strained)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp rose water
Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together almond flour and icing sugar twice for a smooth mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form (5-7 minutes).
Gently fold in raspberry puree and rose water, adding pink food coloring if desired.
Pipe equal-sized circles onto prepared sheets and let them sit for 30 minutes to form a skin.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until they lift off easily from the parchment. Cool completely before filling.
For the filling, beat softened butter until creamy; mix in raspberry puree and icing sugar to reach desired consistency.
Assemble by pairing shells and filling one with buttercream before sandwiching them together.
