We made a few batches of ice cream recently and had a ton of leftover egg whites, so I've been making a bunch of macarons to use them up (because if I freeze egg whites, I forget they exist lol).

Both are still test batches, so I don't have dedicated recipes posted for them yet. But both are based on the recipe for my French method vanilla macarons here: https://floralapron.com/vanilla-macarons/

Brown shells are chocolate (cocoa powder and chocolate extract) with a dark chocolate ganache and homemade black cherry jam center (my husband's current favorite flavor). This was my final test batch, so I'm hoping to post a full recipe for these sometime soon!

Pink shells are Fiori di Silicia with a guava buttercream and a guava preserve center (first test batch, so I might make some tweaks to make the guava pop more, but pretty good overall).

    How do you keep your shells from getting soggy?
