Description

Delicate and flavorful Nutella Drizzle Macarons featuring a crisp almond meringue shell and a sweet Nutella topping. These French-inspired treats are perfect for special occasions or an elegant snack, combining light almond and powdered sugar macarons with a luscious Nutella drizzle.

Ingredients

Macaron Shells

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Food coloring (optional)

Decoration

  • ½ cup Nutella (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the macarons.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar until there are no lumps, ensuring a smooth macaron shell texture.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, achieving the meringue base.
  4. Add Food Coloring (Optional): If desired, gently fold in food coloring to tint the meringue without deflating the mixture.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until just combined to maintain the airy texture required for macarons.
  6. Pipe Macarons: Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe small circles evenly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them to allow for slight expansion.
  7. Bake: Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes until they are firm to the touch. Avoid overbaking to keep them chewy inside.
  8. Cool: Allow macarons to cool completely on the baking sheet before attempting to remove to avoid cracking.
  9. Drizzle with Nutella: Slightly melt the Nutella to a pourable consistency and drizzle it generously over the cooled macarons for a rich finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when whipping.
  • Be gentle when folding to avoid deflating the meringue.
  • Piping uniform-size circles helps in even baking and presentation.
  • You can flavor the macarons with extracts like vanilla or almond to enhance taste.
  • Store macarons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
