Ingredients
– 3 egg whites (100 grams, 3.5 oz)
– 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams, 3.5 oz)
– 1 cup almond flour (96 grams, 3.4 oz)
– 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (75 grams, 2.64 oz)
– 2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder (14 grams, 0.8 oz)
– 3 oz chocolate chips or candy melts (1/2 cup, 85 grams) for dipping
– 1/4 cup coconut flakes for topping
– 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– 1/3 heaping cup coconut flakes
Instructions
1-First, sift the powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder together to remove any lumps, creating a smooth base for your macaron shells.
2-Next, whisk the egg whites and white sugar over heat until they become frothy, then beat them until stiff peaks form for that perfect meringue texture.
3-Carefully fold in the sifted dry ingredients, making sure to test the batter consistency by drawing a figure 8 this ensures itβs just right before piping.
4-Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto lined baking trays.
5-Let the piped shells rest for about 20 minutes as per the recipe timing, then bake at 300Β°F (about 150Β°C) for 18-20 minutes.
6-Remember to rotate the trays midway for even cooking, which helps avoid any uneven spots.
7-For the filling, cook the condensed milk, unsalted butter, and coconut flakes in a saucepan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring until it thickens into a luscious fudge.
8-Let this cool to room temperature before you move on.
9-To finish, dip half of the cooled shells in melted chocolate chips or candy melts, sprinkle with coconut flakes, pipe the fudge onto the bottom shells, and sandwich them together.
