Get ready to swoon over a beautiful new dessert, the macaron donut
Possibly the only thing better than macarons and donuts are when the two are smashed together into one perfect dessert.
Famed pastry chef Francois Payard is the genius behind this new sweet: the macaron donut.

"[Francois] has been inspired a lot lately with the American food trend of 'hybrids', and wanted to experiment with it while still staying true to his French roots," a representative for Payard told Mashable in an email.
With a mix of the French macaron and the American donut, Payard has created a colorful treat that we're sure people will be lining up for.
The first flavor to be introduced is strawberries and cream, which is likely as delicious as it is photogenic.
"Based upon the popularity of the strawberries and cream flavor that will launch on March 20, [Payard] will continue to develop more flavors," his representative told us.
Payard invented the desert for Macaron Day, which falls on March 20 every year. The holiday, also created by Payard, celebrates the French treat while doing good for the world. Participating bakeries will give a donation for every macaron purchased to City Harvest, which fights hunger in New York City.
The macaron donut will be available starting Macaron Day, March 20, and can be found at any of Payard's New York locations.
