A stunning macaron tower, a delicate French confection, is best enjoyed fresh. These airy almond meringue cookies with luscious fillings require careful storage to maintain their signature crisp shell and chewy interior.
Storage Time
Best consumed within 2-3 days of assembly. Refrigeration can extend freshness slightly, but may affect texture.
Temperature
Ideal storage is at cool room temperature (around 18-20°C) away from direct sunlight and humidity. If refrigerating, aim for 0-4°C.
Signs of Spoilage
- Meringue shells become excessively soft, sticky, or gummy.
- Filling develops an off-smell, such as sourness or fermentation.
- Visible mold growth on the shells or filling.
- Macarons taste stale or have lost their characteristic crispness.
