Be honest with us, how many times did you watch Baby Yoda snack on those Blue Macarons in The Mandalorian? We’re not sure if Baby Yoda could get any cuter, honestly!
It turns out, you don’t have to go to a galaxy far, far away to get your hands on those delicious macarons Baby Yoda couldn’t resist!
Gather your Baby Yoda backpack, Baby Yoda plush, and everything else Baby Yoda in your house because 2020 wouldn’t be complete without SNACKING like the cute alien (though we recommend avoiding eggs if they’re not yours)!
We told you how you can get your hands on these cookies but Disney just released a galactic recipe to make the coveted Blue Milk Mando Macarons so there’s no need to head to the store or online! Plus, baking these small cookies are the perfect way to practice the force.
Ingredients (makes 30)
Macaron:
- 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
- 1 confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla
- 2-3 drops blue food gel dye
Filling:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla
- 1 drop blue food gel dye
- 2/3 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Into a medium bowl, sift the almond flour and confectioners’ sugar, twice. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites for 2 to 3 minutes, until foamy.
- Slowly whisk in the granulated sugar, until stiff peaks form.
- Stir in the vanilla and food coloring.
- Fold in 1/3 of the dry ingredients, until just combined.
- Continue with another 1/3, followed by the rest, until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a “figure 8.”
- Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag with a round tip.
- Prep baking sheets with parchment.
- Pipe the macarons onto the parchment into small 1-inch circles, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Tap the baking sheet firmly onto a flat surface a few times to release air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 40 minutes, until dry to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until they rise and the “feet” have formed. Transfer to a wire rack, let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl with a handheld mixer, mix the butter and confectioners’ sugar.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and food gel dye.
- Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag. Onto the flat side of one macaron shell, pipe a circle of buttercream.
- Add a small spoonful of jam into the center. Top it with a second macaron shell to sandwich.
- Repeat with remaining macaron shells and filling, to serve.
After all that baking, steer clear of Baby Yoda (Grogu if we’re being formal)! The force is strong in him and we know he loves these.
