Ingredients
Instructions
Line baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment.*
Place the almond powder, icing sugar, and nutmeg in a food processor. Process until just beginning to clump.
Sift and discard any bits that won't pass through the sifter. Set aside.
Whip the egg whites until they're the consistency of a loose foam. Continue whipping while slowly adding sugar. Whip to a stiff meringue.
Fold the dry mixture into the meringue.**
Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with the 1A tip.
Pipe the macarons onto your baking sheet.
When all your macarons are piped, whack the baking sheet on the counter at least 3 times to get rid of any air bubbles.***
Let the macarons dry at room temperature until dry to the touch. Approx 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step.
While macarons are drying, make the ganache.
Chop the chocolate finely and place in a bowl. Heat the eggnog until boiling and pour over chopped chocolate. Do not stir! Cover bowl with plastic wrap for 2 mins. Stir to emulsify ganache. Place in fridge to set.****

* I create a parchment template using a 11/2″ cookie cutter to create circles and place it under my silpat mat. ** You will need to do a LOT of folds to get the batter to the proper consistency. You’re looking for it to be smooth and shiny and have some movement. If you lift some up with a spatula, it should pour in a steady stream and settle into the remaining batter. DO NOT overmix. *** Do not be shy with the whacking! ****If the ganache has some unmelted bits after stirring, heat over a simmering bain marie.

These were delicious!! Thanks for the awesome recipe 🤗
I had a lot of leftover eggnog from Christmas and this recipe was a perfect use for it! This is the 6th batch of macarons that I’ve ever made, and between this and your coffee and Bailey’s macaron recipe (which I’ve now made three times) I’m seriously impressing everyone! They turned out beautifully!
I just made these and they turned out great! I took pictures but i dont know how to download them to show you!! I piped Christmas trees for Christmas. My scale wasn’t working so I converted to cups and it came out great thanks
Hi Liv! I tried out your recipe for Oreo Macs and they turned out great. Regarding the eggnog mac recipe, can I omit the nutmeg spice to make basic shells? If I were to make coffee flavored macs, can I substitute instant coffee with the nutmeg spice? Thank you!
