Indulge in the rich flavors of cashew and dulce de leche with these delightful French macarons. These sweet treats are perfect for special occasions or whenever you crave a touch of luxury.
Ingredients: 1 cup cashew meal. 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar. 3 large egg whites, room temperature. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup dulce de leche. Cashew halves for decoration optional.
Instructions: Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Cashew meal and powdered sugar should be combined in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and thoroughly mixed. Shift into a bowl for mixing. Beat the egg whites in a different mixing bowl until frothy. Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating the mixture until stiff peaks form. Once the batter is smooth and glossy, gently fold the cashew and powdered sugar mixture into the beaten egg whites in two or three additions. Take care not to blend too much. Spoon the macaron batter into a piping bag and insert the round tip into the bag. Leaving space between each circle, pipe tiny circles with a diameter of approximately 1.5 inches onto the baking sheet that has been prepared. If there are any air bubbles, tap the baking sheet against the counter. The macarons should be left to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a slight crust forms. As the macarons are cooling, preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit 150 degrees Celsius. The macarons should be baked for 15 to 18 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they remove easily from the parchment paper. Take care to avoid overbaking. After taking the macarons out of the oven, allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet. After cooling, place one macaron shell flat side down, then sandwich another shell on top of a small dollop of dulce de leche. Garnish the edges with cashew halves, if desired. Continue with the remaining dulce de leche and macaron shells. To help the flavors meld, let the filled macarons sit in the fridge for a few hours. Your delicious Cashew Dulce de Leche French Macarons are ready to be served. Enjoy!
