I just wanted to say if there is anyone doubting to try this recipe, just do it! The first time i did macarons, with other recipe, was a disaster (of course i did a lot wrong) but yesterday i tried this recipe and they came out perfect! Also the 5 min trick in the freezer for peeling the macarons if they aren't completely cooked, amazing! Thank you so much Nicole for sharing all this information, love from Spain!
I tried this recipe last week… it’s so good that I was able to make about 150 paired macarons in 5 hours. I will be sticking with this recipe from now on. Can you please give us a tutorial on how you make your berry sauce? Thank you!
Wow thank you so much! I’ve been making macs for about 5 years now..just for fun and this tutorial seriously is the best for producing strong macs! I have always had smooth tops and feet but struggled with baking full shells with no hollows. Your explanation of macaronage is superb and thanks to you I finally have full fluffy shells!
I stumbled upon your page on IG and I am so happy I did. This video is so informative. The folding of the almond flour sugar mixture into the meringue I've never seen done before. Most videos are time lapsed during this process so the viewer is given a false sense of what is actually supposed to happen. I'm so happy you showed every step from the ingredients to wiping down everything with vinegar to meringue to macaronage to baking to sampling :). Thank you so much for taking the time. I am even more enthused to give french macarons another go.
This is wonderful to hear! I'm so glad it helped! We struggled with how long the tutorial was, but we did feel like its nice to see in real time. So glad it paid off! Thank you!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Rogelio Raiden Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
It was so helpful to hear the word "deflate" when describing the macaronage process. I'm used to just the opposite when working with meringue, so, this finally made me understand what I was seeing.
Such an informative tutorial. Im am a pastry student myself and did macarons successfully, but I still want to learn more methods. You made it easier for me. I did Italian but I like this Parisian method better. Less dishes to wash and less time consuming compared to Italian technique . I am glad to have chked your vid! 👏👏 love it!!💕
THANK YOU Nicole! I followed tour recipe to a “T” and made my first batch of successful macarons! I can wait for them to finish maturation so I can share and enjoy. Your pro tips are AHHH-MAZING!!!
In Puerto Rico we don’t have a place that specially do Macaroons and I always wanted to taste them and I don’t really have much experience baking or study. I baked a few of them myself and I am really pleased with them. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for such an amazing tutorial!! How many recipes I have tried and they were okay but there was always something off, specially the hollow shells. I made these yesterday and they were great except that they were a little hollow. Today I made your chocolate macarons and I whipped the meringue longer and turn up the mixer speed more slowly and it turned out great! They're absolutely the best ones I've ever made. Thank you thank you so much ♥️
@@kimphan115 french macarons are sweet by nature, as they are a meringue cookie. altering the ingredients would make the macarons look different, but they'd still taste nice :)
This is an awesome recipe - best macarons I've made yet. I had been using the Italian method but much prefer this one. This is a great video your explanation of how to do everything is excellent. Great Job. This is now my go to macaron recipe.
@@baketoujours I did want to know if you use 100 egg whites ( stated in recipe) or 125 ( stated in demo) I make macarons all of the time and always looking for new techniques. ( actually I've made over 60,000 as of last month) ( yes, I started keeping track several years ago lol) Actually I have 500 to make this weekend.... 9 flavors. I JUST LOVE making them
Hi Nicole, just needed to say a big thank you, your recipe is the BEST French Macaron there is, Iam so happy they turned out full inside and looked great on the outside, I hope that wasn’t beginners luck.Thank you for sharing and being there to help 😘👏👏🇦🇺
thank you so much for making this! this was my first time making macarons and i was worried id be wasting my ingredients, but i just followed along your video and im so happy with how they came out!
This recipe is amazing. I have been trying to make these cookies for five years - without success. Thank you for the well explained tutorial with ingredients and equipment that everyone can access. Win!👍🏽😋💕
Despite being 11 days post op (carpal tunnel decompression) and struggling with my hand I still managed to produce lovely full macarons with this recipe. First time trying French method. Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial!
Wow, I cannot wait to try this recipe! I have tried macarons a couple of times and both of them have been very runny batters, hopefully with this it will be a bit thicker. Thank you so much for showing all the way through the macronage proccess also.
Thank you, Merci beaucoup! They turned out beautiful and only my 2nd attempt! You are awesome 👏🏻 thank you for sharing your experience and teaching us amateur bakers 😘💐🥳
I really enjoyed watching and learning from your video!! Went right to Amazon to get the supplies I was missing...the meringue powder idea was first on the list to try....thanks so much!!
You are amazing! Thank you so so so much. After watching your video over and over again I had the courage to try baking macarons again today after many fails. They came out perfect.
Thanks for the recipe and the most useful and detailed explanations !. I got the dream macarons ! Seeing you I learned to be relaxed when I make macarons
Bake Toujours I also have a question for you! My macarons are coming out a little hollow from the shell! How do I fix that problem?! Is my temp too high? I was doing 275
Emerald Reyes if anything, the temp is too low. You can check out my troubleshooting video. If it’s just a little gap, maturing will help fill the cookie.
Thank You !! I moved and my new oven wasn’t the same and the recipe I was using wasn’t working for me anymore.. this recipe was fantastic everything came out perfectly..
Thanks for sharing your process!! This was entertaining! You mentioned shells are not flavored, if I don't want to use food coloring can I use dried fruit powder to the dry ingredients?
I'm sorry I didn't see this before! Yes, you can definitely add dry ingredients to the shells. Freeze dried fruit do change the texture a tiny bit, but they are quite delicious in macaron shells. Just blitz them in the food processor and run them through your sifter with your dries.
Ah that’s a brilliant video! You’re a natural in front of a camera and you have an amazing technique! I wash you made this video when I was learning how to make macarons 😂
I am going to try your oven method to see if it helps mine, I feel as though I do everything right until my over browns the tops of them. I love the idea of starting at 300 and dropping to 275! Thanks, videos are great and macarons are always perfection!
I really appreciate you for this 😭😭May you please record a video on how to bake them with a hand mixer . I don’t have a kitchen aid mixer and they’re not available here. I ordered one and it’ll take about two months to get here (Botswana )
Nicole I’m addicted to your videos. I love them and making macarons. I’m going to try your recipe. When you need to make a big batch for an order do you just double the ingredients?
Thank you so much I just followed ur recipe all the way and at the end I was a bit worried because I felt the batter a bit stiffer than the one u had it wasn’t flowing like urs but the baked perfect!!
Followed your recipe and process. Wow - worked out great first time. My piping needs a little work but everything else was superb, thanks to your great videos. Can you possible let me know what brand of colouring you use?
Sorry, I didn't see your message earlier. I use Americolor, Chef Rubber, Chef Master, and The Sugar Art. In this video, I believe I used Chef Master fleshtone.
Have had great success as a rule with macs, so while in lock down thought I would try your recipe version. My absolute best macarons EVER. beautiful tight batter , only diff was my baking temp which for my oven is 160c and 10 min mark I place a tray in the top to stop my naughty oven over browning. But crunchy outside, chewy inside, delightful even feet, I,m a smitten kitten with this recipe thank you.
Thanks so much! I so appreciate you responding to my DM's on IG, loving all your videos! My students and I have been learning together during quarantine. So fun!
I love this recipe and have done it multiple time. Best tasting but always have a slightly hollow top. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Will keep trying! Thanks for your tutorials and any advice!
Hi! First thing, you are hilarious. Secondly, have you ever experiment with "no resting"? I too over the years have tried different recipes and methods. I first found that the Italian method was great with consistent success but was tired of the sugar cooking process. I stumbled upon a french method recipe where the baker didn't rest for the skin to form and placed them right into the oven. I gave it a shot and have never looked back...of course I tested where one tray I'd rest and 1 I did not...the non-rested one was 100% while the rested one had lopsided or cracked shells. Just curious... : )
I wish I could send you a picture of my macrons!!! They came out beautiful 😍 I added 1/4 tsp cream of tartar because I didn't have egg whites stabilized and I didn't have meringue powder. And I also added 10 grams of instant coffee powdered into my flour mixture for flavor and it still came out!!! After failing other recipes I decided what the heck I'll just do my own thing.. and I did and it still worked! I think the key is that you actually show when to stop beating the meringue exactly how to fold
This is great! First time my macs weren’t hollow 🙌 They did wrinkle on the top, but I’m guessing there was too much humidity in my home, about 50 percent.
So good thank you so much. Really helpful tips? I wondered how you do multi coloured ones, do you colour once macronaged or do you split as best you can then mix each one separately ? Also how do you get really bright blacks and reds without too much food colouring xx
We actually had this in the film and had to cut it due to length. I split batter and add color after i have incorporated all the dries but before i start deflating. Hope this helps!
Just found you - this video is brilliant! Love your personality. I also learned from Mimi's site, but learned so many great tips from your video. Thank you! ✨
I just finished piping them and they look amazing! Thank you so much for all your tips and for sharing your experience! And it was so much fun, you are so relatable! When I post on Instagram I’ll be sure to tag you and give you full instructional credit!
I’ve made these three times now with good results, thank you! But I still have some texture concerns, I think they’re a bit too chewy and I think it has to do with my meringue. In this video you say to beat for about two minutes to get the big white bubbles before adding the first edition of sugar. It takes me significantly longer to get to that stage, and I have to go to a higher speed. Is there something I’m doing wrong with the temperature or something else for the egg whites? I am letting them get to room temperature before I beat them.
Ok, I’m here from your newer video that suggested I start here since I’ve never made macarons before. I’ve made plenty of macaroons but never any macarons. I don’t know if I want to try them now being so precise with gram weight when most recipes I’ve seen are by cup, of course I know the weight is most often more accurate.
This is the only recipe that works for me!!! Thank you! I have a question though-my macarons used to be hollow in the top (right under the shell) but when I put them in at a high temp and reduce it when I put them in, my macarons are hollow on the bottom... what causes this?!
They are just regular oversized cookie trays. Not the air bake kind. I made the mistake of using those early on and...BAD NEWS! I think my mixture is maybe under mixed (too much air in it) but I don’t want to mix more and they ooze all over when I pipe. Who knows?! Keep practicing right? Hehe
I tried doing macarons for like 4 times for now , all of the tries failed 🤦🏼♀️ i will surely try this technique for the 5th time and just hope to have them as nice as urs , thank you for the techniques and explanation ❤️
Recipe I use is very identical just 10g less powdered sugar and no egg white powder. It turns out well 90% of the time, but I started having trouble with bake time, so I tried your bake time. It was a bit too long as they started to brown but they still looked and tasted good. Think I’m going to try 18 mins this time.
Thanks so much for the instruction! If you have more than one tray, is it better to pipe them all out at once or leave in the piping bag until ready to rest?
So very helpful! I hadn’t made these in like a year bc I was so depressed after my last batch 😂😂 I’ve now made two batches and plan to do another. Still combating hollow shells, but I’ve watched your other video about trouble shooting so I’ll be trying until I master these babies!!!
I'll try making these soon, I've already spent $100 in 1 week buying macarons and I ate them all! 😂 idk the serving size but i know i over did it and sure they should've lasted longer than a day.
Hi Nicole... First of all, I love you!! ❤ u put in so much effort and details to make the process less intimidating.. Tell me if I can interchange egg white powder with meringue powder? We don't get egg white powder here in Pakistan.
This was awesome! I may have already commented when I first watched it but I'm excited to make my second batch using your recipe so had to watch again! But you answer every question I have in such a simple way that, even I ;) can understand and then it makes the process easier cuz you understand why certain things are done!! Very cool!! I do have one question....have you ever made these with like erythritol or something? Powdered or regular? I'm dying to make these for my diabetic husband as a surprise but with all the science I'm not sure if the other sugar works so would LOVE some advice....though I'll probably try like half a batch soon just to see :) I don't do any other social media so I guess I can't show you, but I would love to get your feedback after :) But truly, thank you so much for your fun and SUPER helpful tips...just awesome!!! :)
I have watched so many mac tutorials but I think this one is the best I've watched. Instructions are very clear and precise. Thank you so much. BTW, what brand of bowl scraper are you using? I need a new one and I like yours.
I just wanted to say if there is anyone doubting to try this recipe, just do it! The first time i did macarons, with other recipe, was a disaster (of course i did a lot wrong) but yesterday i tried this recipe and they came out perfect!

I'm so glad you found it useful! Thank you for watching!
Is it okay if i don't use egg white powder or meringue powder? Any other substitute for these?
Just found you - this video is brilliant! Love your personality. I also learned from Mimi's site, but learned so many great tips from your video. Thank you! ✨
Well done Nicole - thank you for another fab tutorial. I’ve never done the French method so will be trying these bad boys out this week xx
I just finished piping them and they look amazing! Thank you so much for all your tips and for sharing your experience! And it was so much fun, you are so relatable! When I post on Instagram I’ll be sure to tag you and give you full instructional credit!
I’ve made these three times now with good results, thank you! But I still have some texture concerns, I think they’re a bit too chewy and I think it has to do with my meringue. In this video you say to beat for about two minutes to get the big white bubbles before adding the first edition of sugar. It takes me significantly longer to get to that stage, and I have to go to a higher speed. Is there something I’m doing wrong with the temperature or something else for the egg whites? I am letting them get to room temperature before I beat them.
Ok, I’m here from your newer video that suggested I start here since I’ve never made macarons before. I’ve made plenty of macaroons but never any macarons. I don’t know if I want to try them now being so precise with gram weight when most recipes I’ve seen are by cup, of course I know the weight is most often more accurate.
By far the best recipe I have followed! Thank you so much!!
This is the only recipe that works for me!!! Thank you!
I have a question though-my macarons used to be hollow in the top (right under the shell) but when I put them in at a high temp and reduce it when I put them in, my macarons are hollow on the bottom... what causes this?!
This is so interesting. You're getting concave shells from higher temps? What kind of sheet pan are you using?
Supera brand? BPN-66. I bake for 24-25 min and they don’t brown
Sarah Patterson interesting. I don’t know this brand, is it by chance like air bake trays where there is insulation on the bottom?
They are just regular oversized cookie trays. Not the air bake kind. I made the mistake of using those early on and...BAD NEWS! I think my mixture is maybe under mixed (too much air in it) but I don’t want to mix more and they ooze all over when I pipe. Who knows?! Keep practicing right? Hehe
Sarah Patterson let me know if you figure it out. I will keep pondering as well!
I tried doing macarons for like 4 times for now , all of the tries failed 🤦🏼♀️ i will surely try this technique for the 5th time and just hope to have them as nice as urs , thank you for the techniques and explanation ❤️
Recipe I use is very identical just 10g less powdered sugar and no egg white powder. It turns out well 90% of the time, but I started having trouble with bake time, so I tried your bake time. It was a bit too long as they started to brown but they still looked and tasted good. Think I’m going to try 18 mins this time.
Love your channel ❤️ Trying my first batch of macaroons now!!
How did they go?!
I watch second by second! First batch ever making them turned out beautiful and second time cracked. I’m giving it a third go now!
Thanks so much for the instruction! If you have more than one tray, is it better to pipe them all out at once or leave in the piping bag until ready to rest?
So very helpful! I hadn’t made these in like a year bc I was so depressed after my last batch 😂😂 I’ve now made two batches and plan to do another. Still combating hollow shells, but I’ve watched your other video about trouble shooting so I’ll be trying until I master these babies!!!
awesome! Good luck!
best recipe ever
I'll try making these soon, I've already spent $100 in 1 week buying macarons and I ate them all! 😂 idk the serving size but i know i over did it and sure they should've lasted longer than a day.
Hi Nicole... First of all, I love you!! ❤ u put in so much effort and details to make the process less intimidating..
Tell me if I can interchange egg white powder with meringue powder? We don't get egg white powder here in Pakistan.
You are wonderful teacher
Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing. I really want to make macarons and this was so informative and I definitely learned several tips.
Hi. Loved your video, thank you so much. What is the complete recipe please?
Hi, thanks for watching. The recipe is in the description.
This was awesome! I may have already commented when I first watched it but I'm excited to make my second batch using your recipe so had to watch again! But you answer every question I have in such a simple way that, even I ;) can understand and then it makes the process easier cuz you understand why certain things are done!! Very cool!!
I do have one question....have you ever made these with like erythritol or something? Powdered or regular? I'm dying to make these for my diabetic husband as a surprise but with all the science I'm not sure if the other sugar works so would LOVE some advice....though I'll probably try like half a batch soon just to see :) I don't do any other social media so I guess I can't show you, but I would love to get your feedback after :)
But truly, thank you so much for your fun and SUPER helpful tips...just awesome!!! :)
When it comes to these cookies, I think I am more excited just to see if I can get them than right than the actual eating part.😆
I have watched so many mac tutorials but I think this one is the best I've watched. Instructions are very clear and precise. Thank you so much. BTW, what brand of bowl scraper are you using? I need a new one and I like yours.
