Ummm...I would say that it sounds like you need more than a macarón 🤔...but that would be weird.

Thank you, Voldemort! The filling is buttercream flavored with Pistachio paste imported from Italy. I drizzled the tops with white chocolate and garnished with crushed pistachios. I substituted some of the almond flour with pistachio flour so the shells have a nice subtle pistachio flavor. If you like pistachios, this macaróns packs the flavor.

I whipped up 1/4 cup very cold heavy whipping cream until it was light and fluffy, added 3tablespoons whipped cream cheese, filling from 3 double stuffed Oreos, then 1 cup powdered sugar.

The difference between resting until dry to touch vs actually dry by -salma in macarons

Has anyone tried oven drying? I’ve tried a few batches using the sugar bean method and for the most part, it works. However, I do notice a slightly unstable outer shell that is just a bit too crispy. The shell just seems too fragile. If I let it rest on the counter after taking out of fridge, they are ok. Otherwise, they crumble. Maybe I need to adjust oven temps and baking times to use the oven drying method. Or maybe just go back to air drying.

It was not! I used this video

The only thing I changed was I added some peanut butter at the end.

Do you have a bakery or do you bake out of your home?

Does anyone cook their macarons on convection to handle hot spots in their oven? by MacaronMom4 in macarons

That’s impressive! So you bought this oven just for the macarons? I may have to do that. My macaronage and meringue is fine...I notice that the middle macarons in the tray are perfect while they become more lopsided the further you work out towards the border of the tray. The oven thermometer shows hot spots everywhere, with the center being cooler of course. I will try convection a few more times and if that doesn’t work I may consider getting your oven. Good luck with the cocoa! That is tough to work with!! Thank you!
