Recipe for French Macarons Using Ube Purple Yam Emulco (2024)

How do you make Ube Purple Yam Flavor Emulco French Macarons? Making macarons is not easy. It requires a lot of time and patience to get the right texture, flavor, and appearance.

These macarons are a wonderful centerpiece for a party, family gathering, or any kind of event that you might have in your community. Their eye-catching color is a bright, beautiful thing that makes people sure to pick one or two up. Then, they’ll happily discover the delicious flavor.

We know that macaron recipes can be a little intimidating, but we’re sure that anyone in the world would be able to make this recipe wonderfully. There are a few pieces of equipment that you’ll likely need – namingly a hand mixer – but as long as you’ve got a well-stocked kitchen, you’ll nail it.

What makes this recipe great?

We love two things about this recipe above all else – one is related to the writing of the recipe, and the other is related to the final product of this wonderful recipe.

In terms of the language in this recipe, we really like that it’s completely straightforward throughout. It’s something that we worked hard to achieve since there are a lot of technical terms and frustrating terminology in a lot of macaron recipes. That’s a holdover of classic French cooking – elite restaurants and cooking schools spending time creating elaborate recipes and leaving home cooks behind, somewhat.

We’ve made sure that nowhere in this recipe is there any kind of technical term or word that is overly confusing or elaborate. Instead, we’re confident that every step is self-explanatory.

Finally, we want to talk about how fantastic the final product of this recipe is. It’s one of the most amazing macarons that we’d ever tried, and we honestly cannot get enough! Ube yam is a wonderful ingredient since it strikes a balance between the sweetness of a normal yam with a slightly nutty, vanilla flavor that’s completely unique in the world of root veg.

That sounds like a very nerdy thing to say, but we’re sure that if you try out an ube yam, you’ll know what we mean. The flavor is exceptionally good, and there’s a reason it’s been used in desserts for a long, long time.

Ube yam flavor in these macarons is a wonderful thing – it truly must be tasted to be believed.

Why use ube purple yam?

Aside from the fantastic flavor of ube yam, the color is strikingly beautiful. It’s a fantastic shade of purple – lighter than violet while also being darker than lavender.

Finding a coloring that works in macarons is a tricky business. The chemical process of getting the ingredients to combine in such a way that you make a mini meringue is a tricky thing. Striking that balance with colorings in the mixture is even trickier!

For a while, the only great options for making a red/purple color were to use beetroot or combine vinegar and cocoa powder. Both of those options were used for a long time in the making of things like red velvet cake before artificial colorings were used. While they worked, they weren’t purple.

You can make a purple color from a combination of other artificial food colorings in the modern-day, but using that many different chemicals in your food is something that isn’t looked upon favorably by a lot of people.

Instead, using ube to make your macaron purple is a great way to use natural ingredients to color your food. They will easily take on the vibrant, powerful color of ube, and be enjoyed by all!

What’s the science behind macaron?

The science behind macarons is something that we found quite interesting as we researched it for this article. Essentially, the concept is basic – as you whip the egg whites, a lattice structure forms on the molecular level. As you add sugar, that lattice gets stronger thanks to the crystalline structure of the sugar.

The combination of the two makes for firm peaks in your mixing bowl, and stiff meringue when baked.

For this recipe, we give you a handy temperature indicator to know when to stop beating your egg whites. This is essential, as over or under-beaten egg whites can ruin a meringue! For that reason, make sure to take care during the whipping stage.

This recipe for French macarons with ube purple yam is a tasty, accessible way to get into the world of patisserie. We adore making it for our family, and we’re sure that you will too!
