Light, delicate, and bursting with tropical flavor, mango macarons are a beautiful twist on the classic French treat.

These vibrant cookies feature crisp almond shells with soft, chewy centers, sandwiched together with a luscious mango filling that brings a bright and fruity sweetness to every bite.

For all of our favorite flavors, be sure to check out this page with the Best French Macaron Flavors.

Whether you’re making them for a special occasion, a spring dessert table, or simply to celebrate mango season, these macarons offer the perfect balance of elegance and refreshing flavor that will impress anyone who tries them.

We love making french macarons to share with you! The outer shell has a beautiful orange and yellow color. The filling is my creamy homemade cream cheese buttercream and it has a dollop of homemade mango jam in the center.

For the cookie, you will need —

1 cup of finely sifted almond flour. I like the Blue Diamond that I get from Amazon
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
1 tablespoon of egg white powder
Orange and yellow food coloring
3 egg whites
1/2 cup of sugar

The filling I used for these is my delicious homemade mango jam. I used the mangos I received in my Melissa's Produce box and they were delicious!

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the cookie shell

1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of almond flour
3 egg whites
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of egg white powder
Orange and yellow food coloring

For the cookie center

Mango Jam

For the cream cheese buttercream frosting

1 stick salted butter, softened
1/2 block of cream cheese softened
2-4 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons of mango jam

Instructions

Sift almond flour, egg white powder, and powdered sugar together. Discard all the chunky bits that are left behind. Set aside.
In your KitchenAid mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed until they start to fluff up. Add the sugar and beat on speed 6 until stiff peaks begin to form.
Now, fold the meringue into the dry ingredients. The batter should be thick but loose enough to make a figure 8 with the batter. Mix together between 35-45 times by hand with a rubber spatula. Start in a clockwise motion starting at 12 o'clock and ending at 12 o'clock, then go straight down to 6 o'clock. This is one complete turn.
Line trays with silicone mats or parchment paper.
In the piping bag, use a paintbrush to paint stripes of orange and yellow around the inside of the bag. it should only take one or two drops of each color to do this.
Using a piping bag fitted with a smaller round tip, fill the bag with the macaron batter
Pipe onto trays, making cookies about 1 1/2" inches. Touch the tops of the cookies to press down any tiny tips that stick up.
Tap the trays on the counter 3 times to release any air bubbles. Let the cookies dry out for about 20 minutes. The cookies should be dry to the touch and not sticky when you feel the tops of them.
Preheat the oven to 315 degrees while the cookies are drying out. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are set.
Let the cookies cool off before peeling off the parchment paper.
While the cookies are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting and place it in a piping bag fitted with a small star tip.
To make the cream cheese frosting, cream together butter and cream cheese. Begin adding powdered sugar until the icing gets stiff. Add in the heavy cream and mango jam until desired consistency is achieved.
Once the cookies are cool, flip them over so that the undersides are face up. Match cookies together by size.
Pipe a ring around half the cookies. Fill the centers with a dollop of mango jam.
Top with a cookie that has nothing on it.
Enjoy!
