A French Macaron Twist on the Classic Mince Pie

What's better than Christmas? Christmas in Paris, évidemment!

Alas, I'm not nipping across the Channel (not this year anyway...), so I'm bringing Paris to the Christmas dessert table and gift giving at home.

The Mince Pie French Macaron has a perfectly crisp shell, it's delicately chewy in the middle, filled with a rich medley of mincemeat, creamy butter, and warming Christmas spices. It’s everything you love about a classic mince pie but chic, sophisticated, and oh-so-French. Forget crumbs and messy fingers—this is mince pie reimagined! And of course, as we use almond flour, they are the perfect alternative for gluten-free mince pies.

Everything we do here at Mademoiselle Macaron is about creating a moment of luxury. And what is a memorable moment at Christmas time if not the first mince pie of the season?! This little French twist just makes it a little more special and memorable.

This little moment of luxury should be shared with everyone, especially at Christmas. So we've included a special recipe of these mini mince pies in our Vegan Christmas box.

Whether you're enjoying your mince pie macaron moment with that foodie friend or at a party with our Festive Macaron Tower as a centrepiece for the work Christmas party (tell your boss!), this flavour is a mix of tradition and innovation.

I can't say I ever saw this flavour of French macaron in the Ladurée or Fauchon boutiques in Paris and I couldn't shop for macarons online to find this cheeky British twist. But with ten years of macaron-making experience, the kitchen Mesdemoiselles and I have perfected this recipe which I know you will enjoy—even if it is a Christmas gift for your foodie friend or sister. Sharing is caring, after all!

And just like me, this handmade bite of luxury is in great company at Christmas time. You can discover all of the other five flavours in our Christmas Selection available to buy online and have shipped all across the UK!
