Prepare the Macaron Shells

Start by preparing your macaron shells using your favorite recipe. Whip up your egg whites, fold in the dry ingredients, and pipe out small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Create the Shell Design

After piping out your macaron shells, it's time to create the sea shell design. Use a toothpick or a small, clean paintbrush to draw lines and curves on the surface of each shell, resembling the patterns found on sea shells.

Let the Shells Dry

Bake and Assemble

Preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature and bake your sea shell macarons according to your macaron recipe. Once they're baked and cooled, assemble them by matching up similar-sized shells and sandwiching a delicious filling in between.
