Don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I have to say, these are amazing! I’ve been wanting to make these for such a long time, and I finally did. There isn’t actually any ferrero rocher in these, but the flavours have been inspired by those yummy hazelnut chocolates.
Ferrero Rocher Macarons
35g egg white
15g sugar
45g almond meal
65g icing sugar
2 tsp cocoa powder
Ferrero Filling
1/4 cup nutella
12 whole roasted hazelnuts
2 tblsp crushed roasted hazelnuts
Measure out your almond meal, icing sugar and cocoa powder, grind these to a fine powder and sift into a bowl. Weigh your egg white and sugar separately. Whip whites until frothy, begin to add your sugar in a slow stream until the egg whites turn stiff and glossy. Sift almond meal icing sugar mixture into egg whites then fold gently until it just combine. Fill mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto baking paper lined baking trays. Leave the macarons to set for half an hour or more. Pre heat oven to 150C and bake for 15 mins. For a more detailed explanation, check out this post.
Fill nutella into piping bag and pipe into half the macarons shells. Place 1 whole hazelnut in the centre of the piped nutella, top with the other shell and roll the nutella edge in crushed hazelnuts.
If you love Ferroros or nutella for that matter, you’ll love these Ferroro Rocher inspired macarons.
Yum! This looks incredible!
Thank you!
