How many times has your recipe-executing come to a halt because you’ve suddenly realized that you’d be left with more egg whites than you’d know what to do with? Throwing them away isn’t an option, and you already have more pavlova than you know what to do with, so you’re not sure what else to make. Thankfully, this doesn’t have to happen anymore!

Clara from I Heart Food for Thought found herself in a similar predicament until she got a clever idea. Why not adapt Sherry Yard’s recipe and make Chocolate Kahlua Mocha Buttercream Macaroons?! That’s precisely what she did, and she did a great job putting together these dainty desserts that aren’t easy to make!

You don’t have to be afraid of having leftover egg whites or making macaroons anymore! Clara offers a useful photo tutorial on her blog that will help you create a flawless batch of macaroons that you can share with friends or keep all to yourself. The former might not be so easy, considering the flavor combos ;)…chocolate, mocha, and Kahlua!
