Introduction
A French macaron is a meringue-based pastry made with egg whites, sugar, almond flour, and food coloring. They are often filled with ganache, buttercream, or fruit curd. Macarons can be stored in the freezer for up two months.
When storing macarons, it is important to use an airtight container. This will prevent the macarons from drying out. If you are stacking the macarons, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
If you are having trouble getting your macarons to hold their shape, try freezing the unbaked shells for 15 minutes before baking. This will help them to keep their shape during the baking process.
To store macarons in advance, you can freeze the unbaked shells or the baked and filled macarons.
