What is the best filling for Macaroons?

What is a traditional Macaroon filled with?

Macaroons have evolved throughout many centuries since they were first created. According to popular tales, Macaroons weren’t invented in France, instead, they’re said to originate in Italy and to date back as far as the 8th century. It wasn’t until another eight centuries later that Macaroons were introduced to France. Back then, the Macaroons were a small sweet made of almonds, egg white, and sugar, and were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. In the 1830’s, Macaroons were assembled as two biscuits and filled with jellies, spices, or liqueurs.

At present, Miss Macaroon sells mass varieties of fillings such as buttercream, mincemeat pie, tonka bean, lemon, chocolate, salted caramel, raspberry, and plenty more.

What kind of buttercream is best for Macaroons?

According to popular internet searches, Swiss meringue buttercream is the best filling for Macaroons due to its smooth, rich and buttery taste. However, French buttercream frosting is apparently the best buttercream for piping because it’s easy to pipe and spread.
