• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦

Instructions:

1. Make the Macaron Shells 🍪:

• Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, blend the powdered sugar and almond flour until fine and smooth. 🌰
• In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. 🥚
• Gently fold in the almond flour mixture until combined. Add vanilla extract and gel food coloring if desired. 💖🎨
• Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the baking sheets. 👩‍🍳
• Tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove air bubbles and let the macarons sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to form a skin. 🕰️
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the shells come off the parchment easily. Cool completely. 🧊

1. Make the Chocolate Ganache 🍫:

• Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. 🥄
• Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute. Stir until smooth and glossy. Add butter and sugar, stirring until well combined. 🧈
• Let it cool to room temperature and thicken before using. 🍫

1. Make the Vanilla Cream Filling 🍦:

• Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone cheese for extra richness, if desired. 🍥
• Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use. 🧊

1. Assemble the Macarons 🍥:

• Pair up the macaron shells by size. Pipe a layer of chocolate ganache on one shell and vanilla cream on the other. 👩‍🍳
• Gently sandwich the two together. 💕
• For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or add chocolate shavings on top! 🍫✨

1. Serve & Enjoy 🎉🍪:

• Let the macarons rest in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors meld together. 😍🍫

These macarons are perfect for any celebration, coffee break, or just a sweet treat! 💖🍫
