I have quite a lot of frosting recipes on this blog, most of them can be used as macaron filling. Salted caramel macaron filling, vanilla macarons, and basically most flavour macarons can be filled with the frostings here.

I will share with you a few links to some of the best fillings for macarons. I have also posted a link to a macaron recipe for beginners

When the macarons are properly baked through they easily come off the baking paper as you will see in the video. Match the macarons with the right size and turn them upside down.

Macaron filling method

I made some salted caramel, let it cool and then put it in a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle. Pipe the macaron filling into the centre of one macaron. Make sure you do not pipe all the way around the edges because when you sandwich the macarons the filling will spill out and become messy.
