Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour and 1.5 cups powdered sugar. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg whites until foamy, then gradually add 0.25 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Fold the dry mixture into the meringue along with 2 drops food coloring until just combined and smooth, about 30 folds.
Step 5
Pipe small circles onto the prepared sheet, tap the tray to release air bubbles, then let rest for 15 minutes until a skin forms. Bake for 15 minutes, until the shells are set and peel off easily.
Step 6
Let cool completely before filling with your favorite jam, buttercream, or ganache.
