Ingredients
135 g egg whites
45 g granulated sugar
30 g graham cracker crumbs
215 g powdered sugar
115 g almond meal
5 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup dark chocolate
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon heavy cream
4 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
4–5 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Trace 1-inch circles as a guide.
- Beat egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Process graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and almond meal until fine, then sift.
- Fold dry ingredients into the meringue until the batter flows slowly and smooths out within 15–20 seconds.
- Pipe batter onto prepared sheets using the traced circles. Tap trays firmly to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes. Let shells cool completely before removing.
- For marshmallow frosting, heat egg whites and sugar over simmering water until 160°F while whisking. Whip until thick, glossy, and stiff peaks form.
- For chocolate glaze, melt chocolate with heavy cream over simmering water. Stir in powdered sugar and add warm water until smooth and dippable.
- Dip tops of half the macaron shells in chocolate glaze.
- Pipe marshmallow frosting onto the flat side of remaining shells and sandwich together.
- Lightly torch marshmallow edges for a toasted effect before serving.
Notes
Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
Do not overmix the batter to avoid flat macarons.
Tap baking sheets firmly to remove air bubbles and prevent cracking.
Let macarons cool completely before removing from parchment.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
Freeze unfilled shells for up to 1 month and assemble later.
