  • 50 g almond powder
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 15 g egg white
  • 90 g granulated sugar
  • 30 ml water
  • 30 g egg white

  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • 20 g sakura puree

  • white chocolate
  • edible gold
  • edible sakura flower

Instructions

Macaron dough

  1. Make the  macaron dough in the same way as the original one.

Sakura Cream

  1. Melt the white chocolate with a double boiler. Be careful not to make it too hot or it will separate.

  2. Put the whipping cream and sakura puree in a small sauce pan together, heat before bringing to a boil. Add it into the white chocolate in three parts, mix to combine. Put it into the fridge and let it cool.

  3. When the cream has cooled and hardened, transfer to a piping bag. Pipe the cream onto one piece of macaron and put the strawberry jam in the center. Pipe a little more cream to cover the jam, then top with another macaron to form a little sandwich.

  4. Decorate white chocolate, edible sakura flowers and edible gold.
