Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line baking trays with silicone mats.
- Whip egg whites until foamy, gradually add sugar and cream of tartar, and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder, then gently fold into the meringue.
- Pipe small circles onto the trays and tap them to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness; they should have feet and a crisp shell.
- Prepare the Nutella ganache by microwaving chocolate, Nutella, butter, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Once the shells are cool, pipe ganache onto one shell, sprinkle with chopped Ferrero Rocher, and sandwich with a second shell.
- Dip the tops in melted chocolate and garnish with toasted hazelnuts or gold leaf if desired.
- Chill assembled macarons in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
