Blueberry Lemon French Macarons recipe:
1. Place blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until they bubble and soften.
2. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, mix in lemon juice, and set aside.
3. Whisk egg yolks and the whole egg in a large bowl; set aside.
4. Prepare a bain-marie (simmering water) and melt butter in a heatproof bowl over it.
5. Add sugar and stir until smooth, then add the blueberry-lemon mixture, lemon zest, and whisked eggs. Stir constantly for 10 minutes until thickened.
6. Strain the mixture to remove skins or chunks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours.
Macaron Shells:
1. Sift powdered sugar and almond flour into a bowl; mix and set aside.
2. Whip egg whites (room temperature) until foamy. Gradually add sugar and whip until soft peaks form. Add blue and purple food coloring.
3. Fold in sifted dry ingredients in two batches, folding carefully to avoid overmixing.
4. Pipe the batter onto a lined baking sheet. Bang the sheet on the counter to release air bubbles. Optionally, sprinkle lemon zest on top.
5. Let the macarons dry at room temperature for 1 hour, until no longer sticky to the touch.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (149°C) for 15 minutes. Cool completely before removing from the sheet.
7. Pipe blueberry filling onto half the shells, sandwiching them with the remaining shells. Optionally, place a fresh blueberry in the center of the filling.
