Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift the Dry Ingredients: Combine almond flour and powdered sugar in a bowl and sift together.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites: Whisk egg whites in an electric mixer until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Gently incorporate the sifted mixture into whipped egg whites without overmixing.
  5. Pipe the Macarons: Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe uniform circles on the baking sheets.
  6. Rest the Macarons: Let the piped macarons sit for 30 to 60 minutes until dry to touch.
  7. Bake: Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, watching for a firm shell with no fingerprints.
  8. Make the Filling: Heat heavy cream, pour over Nutella, and stir until smooth to create the filling.
  9. Assemble the Macarons: Pair cooled shells and pipe filling onto one side, then sandwich with another shell.
  10. Garnish: Optionally roll the edges in chopped hazelnuts.
