How to Make it
For the macarons
- Siege together the icing sugar & ground almonds, discarding any large clumps
- Mix together with 60g egg white to form a paste
- Whisk the remaining egg white slowly in a stand mixer
- In a small saucepan heat the sugar & 20ml of water together
- When the sugar reaches 110 degrees turn the mixer up to full speed to bring the egg whites to soft peaks
- Take the sugar to 118 degrees then slowly pour onto the egg whites, avoiding the whisk
- Add the red food colouring to the meringue until a deep red colour is achieved
- Fold the meringue together with the almond mix until fully incorporated, the mixture should fall like ribbons off the spatula – don’t overwork the mix
- Pipe into rounds approx 5cm diameter on flat trays lined with silicone
- Gently tap the trays on the work top to remove excess air
- Leave to stand for 10 minutes uncovered
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 14 minutes
- Slide the silicone off the trays and leave to cool on the worktop

For the parfait
- Whisk the cream & clotted cream in a stand mixer to soft peaks
- Put to one side in the fridge until needed
- Bloom the gelatine in iced water
- Whisk the egg yolks in a stand mixer on full speed until light and fluffy – they will more than double in volume
- In a pan bring the water, sugar and glucose to 118 degrees
- Pour down the side of the stand mixer onto the egg yolks, avoiding the moving whisk
- Keep whisking until cool
- Once cooled fold together with the whipped cream mix
- Dice the strawberries into small chunks and fold into the mix
- Place the mix into metal rings moulds approx 5cm in diameter & put in the freezer
- Once frozen remove from the rings (apply gentle heat to the ring if struggling to remove)
- Sandwich together with the macarons & enjoy
