My macaron batch turned into sad little pancakes yesterday

I was baking in my tiny apartment kitchen and forgot to let the egg whites rest at room temp, so they never got those stiff peaks and everything flattened out in the oven. Has anyone else tried saving a failed macaron batch by crushing them up for ice cream toppings?

Ugh, that's the worst, crushed macarons on ice cream sounds genius though lol

Dunk those things straight in the freezer next time, they'll be rock hard in 10 minutes and you can pretend it was intentional. Crushed macarons on ice cream actually sounds like a solid life hack though, way better than the soggy mess you'd get from letting them sit out. I'd probably just eat the crumbs straight out of the bag like a gremlin before they even hit the ice cream.
