1. To Make Macaron Shells: 2. In a bowl, combine sifted powdered sugar and almond flour. 3. Beat egg white (at room temperature) and sugar until you get soft peaks. 4. Then add the powdered sugar and almond mixture. 5. Mix well and then divide into two equal bowls. 6. Make one green by adding several drops of green food coloring; mix well. 7. Make the other bowl pink by adding a few drops of red food coloring; mix well. 8. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe each color; making sure the disc shapes are the same size. 9. For the pink discs, sprinkle with poppy seeds. 10. After piping all the cookies, allow the shells to rest for 30 minutes until a thin skin has formed. 11. Bake for 15 minutes at 225 degrees F. 12. To Make the Filling: 13. Blend butter until it's smooth and creamy. 14. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, a pinch of salt and several drops of watermelon flavoring. 15. Blend together until well-combined. 16. To Assemble the Macaron: 17. Pipe the filling on one side of the shell, and top with the other shell (making sure one side is green and one side is pink, so it resembles a watermelon slice). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
