1

Prepare the Macaron Shells

Whisk together almond flour and powdered sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the mixture becomes smooth and shiny. Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a round tip.

2

Pipe and Bake the Shells

Pipe small circles of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the macaron shells rest for about 30 minutes until a skin forms on the surface. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the shells for 15-18 minutes until they are set and slightly golden. Allow them to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.

3

Make the Caramel Filling

In a saucepan, heat granulated sugar over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns into caramel. Be patient, it may take a few minutes. Once the caramel is ready, add heavy cream and butter, and continue stirring until well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4

Assemble the Macarons

Pair the macaron shells of similar sizes. Spread a generous amount of caramel filling onto the flat side of one shell and top it with another shell. Gently press them together to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining shells until they're all filled. Let the macarons rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
