Since I’ve been getting consistent results, I tried making Dubai Chocolate flavored macarons! For the filling I made a chocolate ganache and added pistachio paste with kataifi + tahini sauce in the center. They were super yummy!! 🤗

My oldest daughter had her junior prom last night and I was in charge of dinner for her and her group of friends. Her lunch table are my macaron flavor “taste testers” and the girls all wanted my macarons for dessert. Each girl picked their favorite flavor and I got to work. I made over 250 so I could send some home with them the next morning. (All the girls stayed at my house last night too.) They are still not perfect, but Crystals recipe gave me so much more confidence going into this weekend and I’m so thankful. Flavors were: Pina Colada buttercream with Mango Curd Birthday Cake Buttercream Key Lime Pie Lemon buttercream with raspberry curd Banana Milkshake White Chocolate Ganache Cotton Candy buttercream Peanut Butter buttercream with brownie batter center Wild blueberry white chocolate ganache with lemon curd center

After months of attempting to make macarons, I got great results! 😁

I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. I made decorated sugar cookies for many years and when my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I wanted to find a sweet treat she could eat. My son was diagnosed a few years later. I’ve been making macarons since 2020. My daughter got married last year and I made 454 macarons for her wedding. I enjoy trying new recipes and look forward to learning and sharing.

Tried the recipe for the first time today, here is how they came out. What do you think?
