RECIPE: Make ‘Star Wars’ Blue Milk Macarons Right in Your Own Kitchen!

If you and Baby Yoda share a love for snacks then you should check this new recipe shared by Star Wars! And, if you’re wondering, no, frog eggs are definitely not an ingredient in this recipe!

When Mando leaves the Child in Navarro City in Chapter 12 of the Mandalorian, Baby Yoda uses his power in the most Grogu way — to steal cookies from a new classmate, of course!

And now you can make these cookies at home! These perfectly-themed Blue Milk Mando macarons have a raspberry flavor and are potentially as cute as Grogu himself!

Ingredients

Macarons ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
• 1 confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 egg whites, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla
• 2-3 drops blue food gel dye

Filling ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla
• 1 drop blue food gel dye
• 2/3 cup raspberry jam

Directions:

Step 1: Into a medium bowl, sift the almond flour and the confectioners’ sugar, twice. Set aside

Step 2: In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites for 2-3 minutes, until foamy.

Step 3: Slowly whisk in the granulated sugar, until stiff peaks form.

Step 4: Stir in the vanilla and food coloring.

Step 5: Fold in 1/3 of the dry ingredients, until just combined.

Step 6: Continue with another 1/3, followed by the rest, until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a “figure eight.”

Step 7: Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag with a round tip.

Step 8: Prep baking sheets with parchment.

Step 9: Pipe the macarons onto the parchment into small 1-inch circles, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 10: Tap the baking sheet firmly onto a flat surface a few times to release air bubbles.

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 40 minutes, until dry to the touch.

Step 11: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Step 12: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until they rise and the “feet” have formed.

Transfer to a wire rack, let cool completely.

Step 13: In a medium bowl with a handheld mixer, mix the butter and confectioners’ sugar.

Step 14: Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and food gel dye.

Step 15: Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag. Onto the flat side of one macaron shell, pipe a circle of buttercream.

Step 16: Add a small spoonful of jam into the center. Top it with a second macaron shell to sandwich.

Step 17: Repeat with remaining macaron shells and filling, to serve.
