Ingredients

Mint Macarons

  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup super fine caster sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon mint extract
  • 2 drops light green food coloring for your desired color

Mint Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Filling

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup Dunkin' Donuts Mint Hot Chocolate
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Mint Macarons

  • Place a large sieve over a bowl and pour flour and powdered sugar into the sieve. Using a rubber spatula, press the almond flour and sugar down through the sieve. You can discard any larger lumps of almond flour.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium until frothy. Add in the sugar and beat until stiff and shiny.
  • Transfer the egg whites to the almond mixture and fold in. It will take some time to mix it all together, but do it by folding and turning the bowl.
  • Add in the food coloring and mint extract, and continue folding until everything is mixed together.
  • Preheat the oven to 290 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Place the batter into a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch round tip.
  • Pipe round circles about 1 1/4” wide onto the silicone baking mat, about 15 per sheet.
  • Firmly tap the baking sheet on the counter 3 times to release any air bubbles. Let the cookies sit room temperature until they’re no longer sticky. Could be anywhere from 165 to 30 minutes.
  • Then bake for 15 minutes and let them cool before removing.

Mint Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Filling

  • In an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until light and frothy. Slowly add in the 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup Dunkin’ Donuts Mint Hot Chocolate, corn syrup and remaining 2/3 cups sugar. Place over medium heat and cook until boiling. Cook and stir until mixture has been boiling for about 6 minutes or until it reaches 248 degrees on a candy thermometer (this is very important in creating a stiff texture at the end!). Remove from the heat.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the syrup mixture to the egg whites. Increase mixture speed to high and continue beating for 5 minutes. Add in the mint and beat for another minute until mixture looks like marshmallow cream.
  • If your cream does not get stiff enough, place in the fridge until it’s hard enough to pipe onto the center of the macarons.
