Indulge in the rich and intense flavor of black coffee with these elegant macarons. They are perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a delightful blend of coffee and sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 150g almond flour
• 150g powdered sugar
• 110g egg whites aged, at room temperature
• 30g granulated sugar
• 2 tsp black coffee grounds finely ground
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Black food coloring optional
• Black coffee ganache filling recipe below

Instructions:

In a bowl, sift together powdered sugar and almond flour

Add food coloring to the mixture and thoroughly mix if using it

Whisk the egg whites in a different bowl until frothy

Continue beating after adding the cream of tartar

Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating until stiff peaks form

To create a smooth, lava-like batter, gently fold in the sifted almond flour mixture and finely ground coffee grounds into the egg whites

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, then pipe tiny circles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet

To release air bubbles, tap the baking sheet against the counter

Allow the macarons to sit at room temperature for half an hour to an hour, or until a skin forms on top

Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed feet

Take them out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely

Once cooled, divide the black coffee ganache filling between two macaron shells of the same size

Cover with a second shell

To allow the macarons to mature, place them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for at least 24 hours

Before serving, bring to room temperature
