Earl Grey Macaron

Scrumptious tea infused macarons – perfect for all those who prefer not-so-sweet desserts! Other similar ones that are a must-try are chai tea and chamomile tea macarons. We can have them in place of our morning tea!

Jasmine Macaron

Usually made with jasmine tea, this lightly flavored macaron is one-of-a-kind and undoubtedly a must-try!

Lavender Macaron

Lavender macarons are as tasty as they are pretty! Honey buttercream and rose are some good filling ideas. These are also the perfect pick-me-ups because of the refreshing scent!

Orange Macaron

Tangy and sweet, these would taste so good with buttercream or orange infused chocolate ganache. Shilpa tells me this has been one of her favorite flavors ever since she had fleur d’oranger at Ladurée!

Cookies and Cream Macaron

One of my absolute favorite french macaron flavors, it’s crunchy, soft and crumbly, all in one!

Carrot Cake Macaron

If you thought carrot cake was amazing, wait till you try this dessert flavored macaron! They taste best when filled with cream cheese frosting.

Strawberry Cheesecake Macaron

Two desserts in one! What more could you want?! These gourmet macarons would be extra delicious with a filling that contains bits of fresh strawberry! When I last tried these, I had them along with some white tea. Delicious!

Coconut Macaron

Made with coconut flour and filled with shredded coconut cream, you can’t not try this unique and exotic macaron flavor!

Toasted Marshmallow Macaron

S’mores in macaron form? Yes, please!

Pistachio Macaron

White chocolate filling dressed in a green pistachio flavored shell makes for the perfect nutty treat! I had these quite recently at Smoor chocolates and all I can say is don’t be put off by its weird green color, it’s super yummy!

Mint Macaron

Whether they’re filled with chocolate or a mint filling, these frech pastries taste heavenly!

Raspberry Macaron

Melt-in-the-mouth berry filled pink macarons that are way too pretty to eat!

Champagne Macaron

If you’re a champagne lover, this alcohol-infused macaron will not disappoint! Similarly, a red wine macaron is just as delectable! If there’s one macaron flavor in this list I’d do anything to try, it’s this champagne macaron!

Blackberry Macaron

Try a blackberry macaron filled with berry jam and you just might develop an addiction!

Peppermint Macaron

Trade in traditional Christmas cookies for these minty sweet macarons with vanilla peppermint buttercream filling!

Rose Macaron

Rose on its own or combined with lavender is a unique yet popular gourmet macaron flavor. It sounds so good that I might have to find a recipe and get baking this weekend!

Try a PBJ-inspired treat with a peanut butter and a jelly macaron filling or peanut butter macarons with chocolate peanut butter ganache!

Cotton Candy Macaron

Exquisitely sweet candy floss sandwich cookies with buttercream are a definite must-have!

Traditional apple pie with a french twist! Cinnamon macaron fillings are the perfect accompaniment to this dessert. This unique macaron is definitely on my list of must-try desserts.

Salted Caramel Macaron

Salty dessert lovers will fall in love with this one. Just a warning!

Green Tea Macaron

Matcha green tea macaron, slightly bitter and slightly sweet, it’s delicious when filled with white chocolate ganache. If you’re looking to be extra healthy, try a vegan french macaron recipe that doesn’t use eggs, butter and regular milk.

Gingerbread Macaron

Perfect during the festive season but it’s so good you might wanna have it all year round!

Lemon Macaron

Zesty, tarty goodness! Whenever I’m at a cafe where you can put together your own customized macaron box, I always make sure to get atleast one tangy lemony one! Try lemon curd and key lime gourmet macaron flavors.
