Dulce de Leche Macarons Recipe uses Italian Macaron Shell recipe and dulce de leche as the filling. Using dulce de leche as the macaron filling is the most genius thing, since it's easy and of course - super delicious.
Transfer contents of two cans of condensed milk into two 8 or 16 oz jars. Close with lid. Cover the jars with water in a pot by 2 inches and simmer on low heat for about 2 hours. Then, remove from the water and allow to come to room temperature. Ensure that the jars are always covered with water while cooking.
Prepare the macarons using the Italian Macaron method posted HERE. To color the macarons pinkish hue, add a coupe drops of the red gel coloring and one drop of brown when whipping the meringue (this is an optional step).
For Coffee Flavored Macaron Shells: Add the Viva Starbucks coffee packet to the meringue while whipping and omit the food coloring.
Dip the bottom of each macaron into condensed milk and quickly set on a wire, dipped side down. Pair macarons by size.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip fill the macarons with dulce de leche by piping about a tablespoon of the filling onto one half, then pressing the other half on top.
Transfer to an air tight container and refrigerate for 24-48 hours before consuming for best results
