All you need is love but a little bit of Nutella does not hurt, right?
Nutella is simply divine on it’s own, personally I do not like it on bread, but nothing beats Nutella in a cookie sandwich and it makes a fast and delicious filling for macarons too!
I did also use some Nutella in the shells and brushed it in a small stroke to the otherwise pale shells.If you want darker shells, I recommend using cocoa powder, as adding too much nutella in the meringue might change the texture.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Line three baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or baking paper.
- Divide egg whites placing 80 grams in your mixing bowl.
- In a bowl combine ground almonds, powdered sugar, remaining egg whites and nutella and mix until fully incorporated.
- Place the granulated sugar and water in a small sauce pan and put it on the stove on medium heat, at the same time start whisking the egg whites in your mixing bowl on medium high speed.
- Bring the sugar to boil and let it boil for one minute until it comes a thick syrup, then lower the whisking of egg whites to low speed and slowly pour the syrup into the foam.
- Turn whisking on high speed and continue whisking for about 7 minutes until you get stiff and glossy peaks.
- Combine the meringue with almond paste by gently folding using a spatula or a big spoon.
- Place into a piping bag and pipe the macaron shells onto your baking sheet.
- Gently tap the baking sheet few times on the counter to break any possible air bubble in the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until you can lift them off the baking sheet.
- Dip a icing brush into drop of nutella and paint a tiny stroke on top of each shell while they are still warm.
- Line up in pairs and leave to cool down completely before filling.
- Pipe nutella in circles on the flat side of the shells and sprinkle crushed hazelnuts on top.
- Top with another shell to make a sandwich.
