Frequently Asked Questions About Rose macaron
How do you make rose macarons?
Rose macarons are made by sandwiching rose-flavoured filling between baked shells of almond flour and meringue. Fold the almond mixture into the meringue gently, then let the piped shells dry before baking so their surfaces set and their characteristic feet can form.
What do rose macarons taste like?
Rose macarons taste sweet and delicate, with a floral rose note balanced by nutty almond shells and creamy filling. A well-balanced one should taste of rose without seeming perfumed or overwhelming.
Why do rose macarons crack or turn out hollow?
Rose macarons commonly crack or turn hollow when the meringue is overbeaten, the batter is folded incorrectly, or the shells go into the oven before their surfaces dry. Fold just until the batter flows slowly, and let piped shells form a dry skin before baking.
How should you store rose macarons?
Store rose macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator because their creamy filling does not keep well at room temperature. Let them sit out briefly before serving so the shells soften slightly and the rose flavour comes through.
Can you freeze rose macarons?
Yes, rose macarons can be frozen in an airtight container, ideally arranged in a single layer to protect their delicate shells. Thaw them in the refrigerator while still covered to reduce condensation on the macarons.
What filling goes in rose macarons?
Rose macarons are commonly filled with buttercream or ganache flavoured with rose water or rose extract. Add the flavouring gradually, since too much can make the filling loose or give it an overpowering, perfumy taste.
Are rose macarons the same as coconut macaroons?
No, rose macarons and coconut macaroons are different cookies. Rose macarons have two smooth almond-meringue shells joined by a creamy filling, while coconut macaroons are usually chewy mounds made with shredded coconut.
Can you use rose water in rose macarons?
Yes, food-grade rose water can flavour rose macarons, especially the filling. Use it sparingly because its strength varies, and too much can make the floral taste overpowering or loosen the cream.
Why do rose macarons spread in the oven?
Rose macarons usually spread when the batter has been folded too much and become runny, or when the meringue lacks structure. Fold the almond mixture in gradually and stop when the batter flows slowly but still holds its shape.
What should you serve with rose macarons?
Rose macarons pair well with unsweetened tea or coffee, which balances their sweet filling without masking the floral aroma. Fresh berries can also complement them, while strongly flavoured desserts may compete with the rose.

What is Rose macaron?
Rose macaron is a French-style patisserie treat made from two delicate almond meringue shells sandwiching a creamy filling, with rose flavouring in the shells or filling. The outside is lightly crisp while the centre stays tender and chewy, with a fragrant floral note balanced by sweetness.
In France and in bakeries around the world, it is commonly served as a small dessert with coffee or tea, or arranged among other patisserie for celebrations. Almonds and sugar make it an energy-dense sweet: it provides 430 kcal per 100 g. Enjoy one as a little treat alongside unsweetened tea or coffee; fresh berries make a bright, less-heavy pairing.
