Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a double boiler, whisk together egg whites and granulated sugar until frothy and sugar is dissolved. Beat in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Sift together almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar into the meringue, then gently fold to create a smooth batter.
  4. Pipe small circles of batter onto the prepared sheets, bang them to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake for approximately 13 minutes, turning trays halfway through, and allow to cool completely on sheets.
  6. Prepare the filling by beating together softened butter and peanut butter until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  7. Once shells are cool, pair them and pipe filling onto one, pressing a matching shell on top.
