Delicious and elegant Creme Brûlée Macarons filled with rich buttercream and topped with caramelized sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ⅔ cup (200 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (110 grams) almond flour
  • 3 large (100 grams) egg whites
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (113 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean or ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • water as needed
  • granulated sugar as needed

Instructions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat.
  2. Pulse powdered sugar and almond flour in a food processor until rid of lumps, then sift into a bowl.
  3. Prepare the french meringue: Beat egg whites until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the meringue into the dry ingredients until fully combined. Test for the right consistency.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe 1-inch disks onto the prepared sheet.
  6. Tap the cookie sheet to release air bubbles and let the macarons rest for an hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 280°F (138°C) and bake the macarons for 15 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through.
  8. Allow macarons to cool completely and match them by size.
  9. For buttercream, beat softened butter and half of the powdered sugar together, then add vanilla and remaining sugar, adjusting consistency with heavy cream as needed.
  10. Assemble by moistening one shell with water, dipping it in sugar, and caramelizing with a kitchen torch.
  11. Pipe buttercream onto one shell and top with a brûléed shell.
