Sift the almond meal and icing sugar together using a coarse sieve. Add to the aqua faba foam and fold in using a spatula.  Once it is just combined continue to fold some more until the mixture is normal macaron consistency.  If you&#8217;ve never made them before when you pipe them onto a tray you want them to slowly go smooth on top.  If they are stuffy holding the shape they needed more folding.<br \/>\nPipe onto non-stick baking paper and bake at 110C (230 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes.  Bake for longer if you want a drier firmer shell.  See the video for an example of what they look like at both baking times.<\/p>\n<h4>Jelly Fluff<\/h4>\n<p>8g (0.28 ounces) packet of jelly or jello depending what part of the world you live in.<br \/>\n1 tin of evaporated milk.<br \/>\nPlace the jelly and 1\/2 cup of boiling water into a bowl and stir until dissolved.
