Ingredients
  

For the Macarons
  • 1 cup Almond Flour or finely ground cashews for nut allergies
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar no substitution
  • 3 large Egg Whites room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar no substitution
  • 1 tbsp Orange Blossom Water can substitute with rose water
For the Spider Legs
  • 1 cup Black Candy Melts or dark chocolate as alternative

Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • piping bag
  • baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip room temperature egg whites until foamy, gradually add granulated sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar to eliminate lumps and set aside.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites until a 'lava-like' consistency is achieved.
  5. Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto the prepared sheets, spacing them evenly.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm to the touch, then cool completely on the sheets.
  7. Pair similar-sized macaron shells, fill with orange blossom cream, and decorate with melted black candy melts to form spider legs.
