The shells
Preheat your oven to 120°C-249 . Sift the icing sugar and almond powder.
Whip the egg whites stiff with the caster sugar, then add the food coloring. Gently fold in the almond powder/icing sugar mixture with the Maryse then pour the dough into a pocket fitted with a smooth 8 mm nozzle.
Pipe in small domes of about 3/4 cm in staggered rows on a sheet of parchment paper.
