Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together in a bowl to remove any lumps.
2
In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
3
Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue in two additions. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth and flow like lava.
4
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small, even circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Let the macarons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, or until a skin forms on the surface. This is crucial for developing the 'feet' of the macarons.
6
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, or until the feet have formed and the shells are set. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
7
Prepare the tiramisu cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Whip until light and fluffy.
8
Warm the coffee slightly and let it cool. Dip one half of the cooled macaron shells into the coffee, then pipe the tiramisu cream onto the dipped shell.
9
Sandwich the macarons together with the remaining shells. Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
10
Before serving, dust the tops of the macarons with cocoa powder.
