Nutella Macarons
These delicate French cookies are a crowd-pleaser. With crisp shells, chewy centers, and a Nutella ganache filling, they’re a sweet delight for any occasion.
For the macaron shells:
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites room temp
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- brown food coloring optional
For the Nutella filling:
- ½ cup Nutella
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Sift almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, gradually adding sugar, and beat to stiff, glossy peaks. Mix in food coloring (optional).
Gently fold almond mixture into egg whites in 3 parts. Batter should flow like lava.
Pipe 1-inch circles onto parchment-lined trays. Tap trays to release air. Rest 30-60 minutes until tops are dry.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake 15-18 minutes until set. Cool completely.
Mix Nutella and cream. Pipe filling onto one shell and sandwich with another.
