Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 100 g almond flour
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 50 g granulated sugar
Filling Ingredients:
- 100 g marshmallow cream
- 50 g milk chocolate
- 30 g graham cracker crumbs
Garnish and Additional Ingredients:
- 50 g dark chocolate (for drizzling)
- 20 g marshmallows (for topping)
- 15 g graham cracker pieces (for decoration)
Instructions
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together in a large mixing bowl, ensuring a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form, gradually incorporating granulated sugar to create a glossy, stable meringue.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue using a spatula, performing a careful macaronage technique until the batter flows like lava.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe uniform circles onto a silicone-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each macaron.
- Tap the baking sheet firmly on the counter to release air bubbles, then let the macarons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to develop a delicate skin.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through for even coloration.
- Allow macarons to cool completely on the baking sheet before carefully removing them.
- Melt milk chocolate and mix with marshmallow cream to create a smooth, luxurious filling.
- Fold graham cracker crumbs into the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Pipe the filling onto one macaron shell, then sandwich with another shell.
- Melt dark chocolate and drizzle elegantly over the assembled macarons.
- Top each macaron with a small toasted marshmallow and sprinkle graham cracker pieces for a festive finish.
- Refrigerate for 24 hours to allow flavors to meld and develop a perfect texture.
Notes
- Master the macaronage technique by folding dry ingredients into meringue with a gentle, figure-eight motion to achieve the ideal lava-like consistency.
- Use room temperature egg whites for a more stable meringue that creates smooth, crack-free macaron shells with perfect feet.
- Rest macarons at room temperature before baking to develop a protective skin, ensuring a crisp exterior and signature macaron texture.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like vegan marshmallow cream or gluten-free graham cracker alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
