S’mores Macarons Recipe

Ingredients

S’mores Macaron Cookies:

• 120 g egg whites (room temperature)
• 130 g granulated sugar
• 115 g almond flour
• 40 g graham cracker crumbs (finely sifted)
• 110 g powdered sugar
• Brown gel food color (optional)

Chocolate Ganache:

• 200 g milk chocolate
• 100 g heavy whipping cream

Marshmallow Fluff:

• Available store-bought or homemade

Directions

S’mores Macaron Cookies:

1. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
2. In a food processor, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Process until the mixture begins to clump, then sift and re-process any remaining bits.
3. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites to a loose foam consistency. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip until you achieve a stiff meringue. If desired, incorporate brown gel food color to enhance the s’mores look.
4. Carefully fold the dry mixture into the meringue until the batter is smooth and shiny, being cautious not to overmix.
5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a 1A tip. Pipe 1-½ inch circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each macaron.
6. Gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove any air bubbles from the macarons. Allow the macarons to dry at room temperature for about an hour, or until the surface is no longer sticky to the touch.
7. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-17 minutes, then allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before assembling.

Chocolate Ganache:

1. Finely chop the milk chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate, cover the bowl, and let it sit for 2 minutes.
3. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined. Chill the ganache in the refrigerator until it is firm enough to pipe.

To Assemble:

1. Pair up your macaron shells by size and place them flat side up.
2. Pipe a thin layer of chocolate ganache onto one macaron shell, followed by a dollop of marshmallow fluff.
3. Top with another macaron shell, gently pressing and twisting to secure the filling.
4. Repeat with the remaining macarons.

Tips for Success

• Sifting the Dry Ingredients: Ensure that the almond flour, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs are finely sifted. This will result in smooth and delicate macaron shells.
• Macaron Drying Time: Allowing the macarons to dry fully before baking is crucial for achieving the characteristic smooth top and “feet” of the macaron.
• Temperature Control: Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature, as this can greatly affect the outcome of your macarons.
