Turtle Chocolate Macarons Recipe

These Turtle Chocolate Macarons are a delectable twist on a traditional French dessert. They're sure to impress with a chocolate and almond flour shell and a rich caramel-pecan filling.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 45 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
• Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
• Sift together the powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy before adding the granulated sugar and cream of tartar.
• Keep beating until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined with the egg white mixture.
• Fill a piping bag with the mixture and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Allow the macarons to rest for 15-20 minutes after tapping the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles.
• Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, or until they are set but still soft.
• Allow to cool completely on a baking sheet.
• To make the filling, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips.
• Stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
• Combine the caramel sauce and pecans in a mixing bowl.
• Fill a piping bag with the filling and pipe a small amount onto the bottom of one macaron, then sandwich with another.
• Rep with the rest of the macarons and filling.
• Before serving, chill the macarons for at least 30 minutes.
