For the macaron batter, mix the almond flour with the powdered sugar and sift it onto a baking sheet to ensure there are no lumps; then mix with the egg whites until well incorporated, add the almond extract, and divide the mixture into 3 equal parts. Color each mixture with vegetable dyes respectively to achieve the Comex® Banquet color palette 034-07, Prusia C3-08, and Porto fino H1-10. Separately, prepare an Italian meringue: heat sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat until obtaining a clear caramel, the bubble should be semi-thick (115°C). Just before the caramel reaches this point, start beating the egg whites with a whisk in the mixer at the same time until you achieve a stiff peak consistency, then add the syrup in one go and continue beating until the meringue forms; it's important to know that you should remove it while it's still warm. Divide the Italian meringue into 3 and mix it with the three different macaron batters, then transfer the mixtures to piping bags with a plain tip. Shape the macarons by "dotting" the mixture in circles and cutting with a piping motion each time; repeat until all 3 colors are finished. Let the macarons dry for 45 minutes at room temperature (uncovered); the idea is to dry them to form a superficial layer on the macarons. If necessary, dry for more or less time, depending on the type of climate in the environment. After this time, bake the macarons at 130 °C for 11 minutes; if possible, bake them without ventilation. Remove and let cool, fill with blackberry jam, blueberry jam, and white chocolate ganache, according to the colors of the palette.

Tips

Check the temperature of your oven, as it can be very variable.

The thickness of the baking sheets is important; they should not be too thin and must regulate and distribute heat well.

In general, it's important to pay attention to the entire process, respecting the times and temperatures indicated for the recipe to be successful.

When coloring the mixtures for the macaron batter, you should raise the tone a little, so that when you add the white meringue, the color remains appropriate.
