You Will Need (5 things)

  • 250 g Icing Sugar
  • 140 g Chopped Nuts
  • 2 Egg White
  • 100 g Cream Cheese
  • 25 g Dark Chocolate

Steps (6 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    Heat your oven to at least 160C

  2. 2

    Put 25g of icing sugar and the pistachios in a blender and whizz until fine. Mix with 175g more icing sugar in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Whisk the egg whites until you form stiff peaks. Add 50g icing sugar and whisk again until thick and glossy.

  4. 4

    Fold in the nut mix. Spoon into a piping bag or like I did use a spoon to form small rounds of the mixture on parchment lined trays. Each one should be about the size of a 10 coin but I made mine on the large side.

  5. 5

    Leave them to dry for 30 mins before putting them in the oven, bake for 12-15 mins or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Beat together the cream cheese and melted chocolate, use this mix to sandwich the macaroons together.
