Spooky Mummified Macarons for Halloween

These Mummified Macarons feature crisp almond shells filled with a sweet filling, topped with a white drizzle and candy eyes. The recipe takes about 1.5 hours from start to finish and yields approximately 24 macarons.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle)
Candy eyes for decoration
Filling of your choice (buttercream, ganache, or jam)

Instructions

Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Make Macaron Batter: In a bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in the almond mixture gently until combined.
Pipe Macarons: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each. Tap the baking sheets on the counter to release air bubbles.
Dry the Shells: Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they have risen and are firm to the touch. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.
Fill the Macarons: Once cooled, pair the macaron shells and fill them with your chosen filling. Sandwich them together.
Decorate: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the macarons to create mummy wrappings. Add candy eyes to each macaron before the chocolate sets.
Serve: Enjoy your Mummified Macarons as a spooky Halloween treat!
