Method
 

  1. Sift the almond flour, confectioners' sugar, and powdered freeze-dried strawberries together until incredibly fine and free of lumps.
  2. Beat the egg whites until foamy, slowly add granulated sugar, whipping until stiff peaks form. Stir in gel food coloring.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue in two additions until the batter flows like molten lava.
  4. Load the batter into a piping bag and pipe about 1.5-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with parchment.
  5. Let the shells air dry for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 14-16 minutes.
