Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- White chocolate chips (for melting and decorating)
- Black and orange icing pens (for the snowman faces)
- Cake pop sticks
Instructions
To create these glimmering Snow-Kissed White Chocolate Macaron Pops, start by pairing your dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour with the powdered sugar to ensure they’re free of lumps. Set the mixture aside.
Next, whisk the egg whites and salt on medium speed in a clean mixing bowl. As they become foamy, gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, followed by the vanilla extract, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe 1½-inch circles onto the paper, leaving some space between each. Since we’re creating the heads and bodies of snowmen, add a second smaller circle directly above each larger one to form a two-tier shape. Let the piped batter rest for about 30 minutes, or until it no longer feels sticky to the touch. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through to ensure even cooking. Once done, let the shells cool completely. Then, pop melted white chocolate into a piping bag (or resealable plastic bag) and drizzle a thin layer onto the flat side of one shell before placing another shell on top to create a sandwich. Insert a cake pop stick into the filling to complete your pops.
With a steady hand, use black and orange icing pens for the eyes, smile, and carrot nose. You can even add a whimsical scarf or rosy cheeks if you’re feeling extra creative. Allow the pops to rest until all decorations are set.
These Snow-Kissed White Chocolate Macaron Pops are a delicious delight for children’s parties, holiday celebrations, or whenever you want to add a dash of fun to dessert hour. They’re naturally gluten-free (thanks to almond flour), have endless flavor possibilities (try peppermint or salted caramel fillings), and can be made in advance—just store them in an airtight container. Whether you’re celebrating a winter extravaganza or simply craving a sweet treat in the middle of summer, these cheerful snowman pops are sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
