Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler, combine the egg whites and granulated sugar, whisking until frothy. Transfer to a stand mixer and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Sift almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar together. Fold into the meringue until a 'lava-like' consistency is achieved.
- Transfer batter into a pastry bag and pipe 1.5-inch circles onto the baking sheets. Tap to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Ensure the tops are matte and dry before removing.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and softened butter, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.
- Pipe the filling onto the flat side of one macaron shell and sandwich with another shell. Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate.
