Frequently Asked Questions About Tahini macaron
What is a tahini macaron?
A tahini macaron is an almond-meringue macaron flavored with sesame tahini, often in its filling. It combines the delicate, sweet shells of a French-style macaron with tahini’s roasted, nutty flavor.
What does a tahini macaron taste like?
A tahini macaron tastes sweet and lightly nutty, with tahini adding a roasted sesame note and a mild bitterness. The flavor is richer when tahini is used generously, while chocolate or honey in the filling can make it sweeter.
How do you make tahini macarons?
To make tahini macarons, prepare almond-flour meringue shells and add tahini to the filling, or to the batter if the recipe calls for it. Let the piped shells dry until their surfaces are no longer tacky before baking to help prevent cracks.
Why do tahini macarons crack?
Tahini macarons commonly crack when the piped shells have not dried enough before baking. Let them form a dry surface that does not stick to your finger; an oven that is too hot can also cause the shells to split.
Why are my tahini macarons hollow inside?
Hollow tahini macarons can result from overwhipped meringue, poorly mixed batter, or an unsuitable oven temperature. Fold the batter until it flows slowly from the spatula, and use a reliable macaron recipe and oven setting.
How should you store tahini macarons?
Store tahini macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Chilling lets the filling soften the shells slightly and meld the flavors; bring them toward room temperature before serving for a softer texture and fuller taste.
Can you freeze tahini macarons?
Yes, tahini macarons freeze well in an airtight container, with parchment between layers to protect them. Thaw them in the refrigerator while still covered, which helps prevent condensation from making the shells wet.
What goes well with tahini macarons?
Unsweetened coffee or black tea pairs well with tahini macarons. Their slight bitterness balances the sweet shells and complements tahini’s toasted sesame flavor; espresso is especially good with a chocolate-filled version.
Why are my tahini macarons sticky?
Tahini macarons may stay sticky if the shells are underbaked or exposed to humidity. Let the baked shells cool completely before lifting them from the parchment, and keep finished macarons in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
What fillings work well in tahini macarons?
Dark chocolate, honey, and white chocolate all work well in tahini macarons. Dark chocolate emphasizes tahini’s roasted edge, while honey makes the sesame flavor rounder and sweeter; pipe the filling onto fully cooled shells.

What is Tahini macaron?
Tahini macaron is a French-style macaron made with two almond-meringue shells and a sesame tahini filling or flavouring. Its delicate, lightly crisp shells and soft centre give the classic confection a savoury, nutty edge.
In France, macarons are commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea and bought from pâtisseries; elsewhere, they make a small treat for afternoon tea, dessert platters or gifts. Almonds, sugar and tahini make this an energy-dense sweet, while its protein and fibre are modest. Serve it with unsweetened tea or coffee to balance the sweetness, and enjoy it as a treat rather than a filling snack.
