French macarons are impossible to resist. Who hasn’t walked past a patisserie or bakery and been tempted by the rainbow of macarons lined up in the window?

French macarons have crunchy, yet chewy, shells with perfect little “feet” that envelope delectable buttercream fillings in every flavor you can think of, making them an irresistible treat. They also have the added benefit of being naturally gluten-free, making them a favorite for almost everyone!

But (there’s always a but isn’t there?) they do have a reputation for being a little fussy to make at home. The truth is, they can be tricky if you’ve never made them before but, that’s why I’ve created some fantastic resources for you—so you can be a pro in no time!

Flavored Macarons

I love making flavored macarons. Nothing makes me happier than coming up with new, and sometimes surprising, flavor combinations to delight everyone who tries them.

You can make the shells and fillings with the same flavors, like my dark chocolate macarons, salted caramel macarons, or pistachio macarons. You can experiment and give the shells different but complementary flavors. I’ve done this with my pecan maple macarons and strawberry rhubarb macarons.

I also like to get adventurous and try some more interesting flavor combos like basil lime or chocolate miso. They may sound unusual but I promise they’re absolutely delicious!

Which will you try first?
