My first MacTweets MacAttack!



Thai peanut chili lime macaron

Thai peanut chili lime macaron
I'm so excited for my first mac tweet! The subject is sugar and spice, with fruit. This macaron is made of 75% almond and 25% peanut flour. The lime curd is made from mexican lines from my tree, and the chili powder is california chili. These were made specifically for mac tweets, but I have made another batch before. These are still maturing in my fridge, but if they are anything like the last batch, the first thing you taste is lime, followed by peanut and a hint of spice.


This flavor combination is inspired by thai food, with the chili, lime and peanut flavors.

  3. What a novel idea indeed and a finger-licking good marriage of flavours. Chili and lime sound tantalizing enough, and paired with a nutty macaron, even better! Thank you for joining us at MacTweets! Wonderful to have you over!!
