Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a large round tip with the batter and pipe roughly hazelnut-sized heaps onto the sheet. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

For the filling, crumble the chocolate and melt it over a double boiler. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. Whisk the butter until fluffy. Add the egg yolk, powdered sugar, and coffee liqueur, beating into a creamy mixture. Fold in the melted chocolate. Stir in enough almonds so the cream remains spreadable.
