Macarons have been a popular dessert since the 16th century, and it's easy to see why! A macaron is a French confection made of two meringue-based cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling. A chocolate peanut butter macaron is a unique twist on this classic dessert. The combination of the sweet and salty flavors of the chocolate and peanut butter make for a delicious treat that everyone will love. This recipe is easy to follow and will yield about 24 macarons.

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Macarons:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Slowly add in the granulated sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Sift the dry ingredients into the egg whites and fold together until combined and the mixture is thick and glossy.
  4. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe the batter into 1-inch circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shells are firm to the touch. Allow the macarons to cool completely before filling.

For the Filling:

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Once melted, add in the peanut butter, stirring until combined. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before using.

Assembly:

  1. Once the macaron shells and filling have cooled, pipe a teaspoon of the filling onto the flat side of half of the macarons. Gently press the other half of the macarons onto the filling to form a sandwich.
  2. Refrigerate the macarons for at least 30 minutes before serving.
