Macarons with passion fruit curd

Now it really feels like the summer is here, and that feeling makes you long for some holiday. I have a full three weeks to go until my second holiday but I have a feeling that these weeks will go fast. We have now been married twice, once in Mexico and once here in Sweden, and now we have a third celebration with all our friends. Why not splurge once you do something like this? But if I should be honest it will feel good when it's all over and we can return to our rather unplanned daily life.

Macarons with passion fruit curd

Macarons
110g icing sugar
60 g of almond meal
60 g of egg white (about 2 eggs)
40 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
a few drops of green food coloring.

 
Whisk the egg whites and add the sugar a little at a time. Beat until you have a nice and shiny meringue.
Sift the icing sugar, almond flour and vanilla sugar in a bowl.
Fold in the dry ingredients in the meringue, one third at a time.
Drop in the food coloring and fold it gently.
Ladle over the batter into a piping bag and pipe up on parchment paper or on a silicon form. Let rest for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C. Bake for about 12 minutes.
Let rest a few minutes and then match two shells together and pipe or use a teaspoon to add the filling.

 
Passion fruit curd

4 eggs
2 egg yolks
150 g sugar
8 passion fruit

Add all ingredients except the butter in a bowl that can withstand heat. Put the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, it takes about 10 minutes. Remove the curd from the heat and add the butter, whisking until the butter is completely melted and mixed with the rest of the curd. Let cool slightly and pour into clean jars.
