Ingredients

Instructions

  • Measure almond meal, hazelnuts, and powdered sugar into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Process finely, and sift out any large bits.
  • Whip the egg whites until foamy. Add in the granulated sugar gradually, and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
  • Dump in the nut meal mixture all at once. Fold by hand, until combined. The mixture should drop from the spatula in a thick ribbon. If it drops in clumps, it should be folded a few more strokes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and fill a pastry bag with the macaron batter. Pipe 1 inch rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow to dry for 20 minutes or until a thin, dry membrane has formed.
  • Drop the oven temp down to 325 and bake for 14 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet.
  • Chop the chocolate and heat the cream to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until incorporated. Stir in the liqueurs and allow to cool.
  • Pipe about a tablespoon onto half the macaron shells and sandwich.
