Delicate and indulgent, these Ferrero Rocher macarons combine crisp almond flour shells with a creamy Nutella ganache filling and chopped hazelnut garnish. Naturally gluten-free and packed with chocolate-hazelnut flavor, they’re perfect for special occasions or an elevated everyday treat.

Ingredients

1 cup (100g) almond flour

1 3/4 cups (200g) powdered sugar

3 large egg whites, room temperature

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup (120g) Nutella

1/4 cup (60g) heavy cream

Chopped hazelnuts (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the sifted dry mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula until the batter reaches a lava-like consistency.
  5. Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe even circles onto prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  6. Let macarons rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
  7. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake macarons for 12–15 minutes until set and risen.
  8. To make the filling, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over Nutella and stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
  9. Match macaron shells by size. Pipe ganache onto one shell and gently sandwich with another.
  10. Roll the edges of each macaron in finely chopped hazelnuts. Serve or store as directed.

Notes

Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free chocolate spread and coconut cream in place of Nutella and heavy cream.

Nut-Free: Substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour and omit hazelnuts (texture and flavor will vary).

Add cocoa powder to shells for extra chocolate flavor.

Macaron shells can be made 3 days in advance.

Freeze fully assembled macarons in a single layer for up to 1 month.
