  3. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium speed, whisk 2 egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high, then slowly add sugar syrup in a constant stream until combined. Set aside
  4. Combine almond meal and icing sugar in a medium stainless-steel bowl, then gradually add remaining unbeaten egg whites, mixing with a wooden spoon until the mixture is firm and paste-like
  5. Separate mixture into smaller bowls, depending on how many colours you want. Add desired food colouring to each bowl and combine well, then divide beaten egg whites evenly between each bowl and thoroughly combine. The mixtures should have a velvety texture
  6. Spoon coloured mixtures into piping bags fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle. Pipe mixture to make 3cm rounds on silicon-mat lined baking trays. Tap trays to flatten peaks and rest for 30 minutes or until mixture feels dry to touch and forms a skin
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 150C and place trays in oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until bases are firm and a macaroon can be lifted from the tray. Remove trays from oven and cool macaroons on tray

  10. Add butter 1 piece at a time and whisking after each addition, until combined. Divide mixture between 6 bowls to make the different flavoured fillings and leave for 15-20 minutes to cool completely
  11. For mango, add mango purée to buttercream to taste and mix thoroughly. For blueberry, add jam to buttercream and mix thoroughly. For pistachio, add a drop of essence to buttercream to taste
  12. To make raspberry coulis, place raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over low heat for 8-10 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl and set aside to cool.
  13. When ready, add to buttercream, 1 tsp at a time, to taste.(make blueberry coulis on the heat in the same way

  15. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, egg yolks and butter. Stir until melted. Cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature. When ready, add to buttercream, 1 tsp at a time, to taste
