Cashew Dulce de Leche Macarons

These cashew dulce de leche macarons are a delightful way to indulge in the delightful combination of cashew nuts and creamy dulce de leche. They will satiate your sweet tooth with their sweet, caramel-flavored filling and subtle nutty flavor.

Ingredients:

• 200g cashew nuts
• 200g powdered sugar
• 2 large egg whites
• 50g granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup dulce de leche
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Adjust the oven temperature to 300F 150C and place parchment paper on two baking sheets

Cashew nuts and powdered sugar should be combined in a food processor

Until finely ground, pulse

Remove any larger pieces from the mixture by sieving it

Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form

While beating, gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form

Making sure not to deflate the batter, gently fold the cashew and powdered sugar mixture into the egg whites

Thus, the macaronage is formed

Spoon the macaron batter into a piping bag that has a round tip attached

Leaving space between each, pipe tiny rounds onto the baking sheets that have been prepared

If there are any air bubbles, tap the baking sheets against the counter

Allow the macarons to rest for thirty to forty-five minutes, or until they become firm to the touch and a skin forms on top

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have firm feet, in a preheated oven

Halfway through the baking process, turn the baking sheets

As the macarons cool, get the filling ready

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat

Stir in dulce de leche and salt until thoroughly mixed

After taking off the heat, whisk in the vanilla extract

After the macarons cool completely, sandwich one macaron with another by spreading or piping the dulce de leche mixture onto its flat side

Give the macarons a full day to develop their flavors in the refrigerator

Present and savor!
