Ingredients
  

For the Macaron Shells

  • 70 g almond flour You can substitute almond flour with hazelnut flour for a different flavor.
  • 63 g powdered sugar
  • 55 g egg whites Make sure egg whites are at room temperature for better aeration.
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar Optional for better stability.
  • 55 g granulated sugar

For the Filling

  • 1 stick unsalted butter Softened.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1.5–2 pieces Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Crumble before mixing.
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate Melted for dipping.
  • green sprinkles For decoration.
  • red buttercream or royal icing For decoration.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together. Set aside.
  • Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually add sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold half of the dry mix into the meringue, then add the rest. Mix until the batter flows like lava and forms a figure 8.

Baking

  • Pipe 1½-inch rounds on parchment paper. Tap tray to release bubbles. Rest for 20–40 minutes until dry to the touch.
  • Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15–17 minutes until set. Let cool before removing.

Filling

  • Beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, then heavy cream. Fold in crumbled Christmas Tree Cakes until creamy.
  • Pipe filling onto half the shells and sandwich with the remaining shells.

Decoration

  • Dip the tops of the macarons in melted white chocolate. Add green sprinkles and red icing. Chill for 24 hours before serving.
