About OvoFree Macaron
Louis Francois OvoFree Macaron is a plant-based egg white replacement designed specifically for making vegan macaron shells. This cream-coloured powder is made from a blend of potato protein isolate, hydrolyzed pea protein, and flax fibre, carefully formulated to replicate the structure, stability, and texture of traditional egg white foams—without any animal products.
When rehydrated with water and whipped, OvoFree Macaron creates a tight, firm foam ideal for making smooth, structured macaron shells that can be piped and baked just like the classic version. It also offers excellent freezer stability, making it perfect for production kitchens and frozen storage.
Use:
How to Prepare:
-
Pour the required amount of cold water into a mixing bowl.
-
Add OvoFree Macaron powder (recommended at 10% of total mix).

Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer.
-
Whip at maximum speed for about 5 minutes, or until you get a white, tight foam.
-
Fold into your dry ingredients as you would with traditional egg white foam.
Note: Avoid adding fats during the foaming stage, as they will reduce the volume and stability of the foam.
