Chocolate Macarons with Nutella Ganache
Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Nutella for filling
- 1/4 cup heavy cream for ganache
Instructions:
Turn the oven on to 300 degrees Fahrenheit 150 degrees Celsius and place parchment paper on a baking sheet
Blend the cocoa powder, almond flour, and powdered sugar together in a food processor
Pulse until finely chopped and thoroughly mixed
Beat the egg whites until frothy in a dry, clean mixing bowl
Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating the mixture until stiff peaks form
Stir in the vanilla extract and stir until well combined
To create a smooth, glossy batter, gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the egg white mixture
Take care not to blend too much
After transferring the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe tiny circles, each about an inch in diameter, onto the baking sheet that has been ready
Take care to give each macaron shell some space
To get rid of any air bubbles, lightly tap the baking sheet against the counter
Give the macarons a good 15 to 30 minutes to rest so that a skin forms on top
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed feet, in a preheated oven
On the baking sheet, let them cool fully
The heavy cream should be heated in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer
Take off the heat and blend in the Nutella until it's smooth
Allow the chocolate to reach room temperature
Sort the macaron shells into similar-sized pairs
To assemble a sandwich, pipe or spoon a tiny bit of Nutella ganache onto one shell, then cover with another
To allow the flavors to mingle, either serve right away or place in the refrigerator for an hour
Savor the rich Chocolate Macarons paired with Nutella Ganache!
