Description
These biscoff macarons, with their light shells and creamy ganache, are a delicious treat to enjoy at any time!(Makes about 20-25 macarons - about 40 shells)
Ingredients
Biscoff Shells:
- 100 g egg whites - about 3 large eggs at room temperature
 - 125 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar - extra fine
 - 100 g (1 cup) almond flour
 - 25 g (1/4 cup) ground Biscoff cookies
 - 125 g(1 cup) powdered sugar
 - Brown or beige food coloring - optional
 
Biscoff Ganache:
- 200 g (7 oz) white chocolate
 - 100 g (1/2 cup) heavy cream - full-fat
 - 80 g (1/3 cup) Cookie butter spread
 
Instructions
Biscoff Ganache
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave by heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
 - Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is warm, but do not bring it to a boil.
 - Pour the warm cream over the melted chocolate along with the cookie butter spread and mix until smooth and well combined.
 - Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ganache and let it set at room temperature or place it in the fridge for about 1 hour to thicken and become easier to use.
 
Biscoff macarons shells
- Mix the almond flour, powdered sugar, and biscoff cookie crumbs in a food processor until you get a fine, homogeneous powder.
 - In the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy. While the mixer is running at medium-low speed, add the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time, every 30 seconds. Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and continue whisking until stiff peaks form (add food coloring here if you want a darker shade).
 - Gently fold in the dry ingredients all at once into the meringue, using a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture. Mix until you get a smooth batter that forms a ribbon when you lift the spatula.
 - Using a piping bag, pipe small mounds of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
 - Let the macaron shells dry (or "crust") for 30 to 45 minutes before baking.
 
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
 - Bake the macarons for about 14 to 15 minutes, then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
 - Once the shells are completely cooled, fill them with the white chocolate biscoff ganache add some biscoff cookie butter spread on the center with a piping bag.
 - Assemble the shells to make the macarons.
 
Notes
Storage: Store the macarons in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. You can also keep them at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Macarons also freeze very well for 1 to 2 months.
Tips:
- Allow the macaron shells to crust well before baking for the best result.
 - For a more melt-in-your-mouth texture, let them rest in the fridge for 24 hours before enjoying.
 - Be sure to sift the almond flour and powdered sugar to avoid lumps.
 - Use a scale for precise measurements and perfect results.
