Dirty Chai Macarons
After making my chai sugar cookies, I was on a bit of a chai spice kick! Chai lattes with a shot of espresso are one of my favorite fall drinks, so I transformed them into dirty chai macarons! The shells are like a chai tea macaron and they’re filled with espresso buttercream.
The first time I made macarons, I had absolutely no background information about how to make them, what ingredients they used, or anything else, really. I had tried maybe two macarons in my life before I made them on my own. The only thing I really knew about them was that they were difficult to make, and I wanted a baking challenge! It took me at least 3 attempts before I made macarons that didn’t all crack or have a big empty bubble inside. One of my big problems was that I didn’t know what stiff peaks were! I made them twice before thinking “hmm, I should probably look up exactly what stiff peaks are.” And boy, was I wayyy off!
