Ingredients
  

Macaron Shells
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup almond flour finely ground
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Filling & Garnish
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp salted caramel optional
  • 2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
  • Melted dark chocolate for drizzle

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Piping bag with round tip

Method
 

  1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Sift powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder together.
  3. Whip egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
  4. Fold dry mixture into egg whites until batter flows like lava.
  5. Pipe batter into circles on baking sheets, tap to release air bubbles. Rest until a skin forms.
  6. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 14–16 minutes. Cool completely.
  7. Heat cream and mix with Nutella until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  8. Pipe filling onto shells, add caramel if desired, and sandwich with another shell.
  9. Drizzle tops with chocolate and sprinkle hazelnuts.
  10. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving for best flavor.

Notes

For best results, age egg whites overnight and allow macarons to mature 24 hours before serving.
