Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Macaron Shells:

  • 120g almond flour
  • 200g powdered sugar
  • 100g egg whites (room temperature)
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • A pinch of salt
  • Black gel food coloring (optional)

For the Dark Chocolate Ganache:

  • 150g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100ml heavy cream
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together to create a smooth batter.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold Ingredients: Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Pipe Batter: Pipe rounds of batter onto baking sheets and tap to remove air bubbles.
  6. Rest Batter: Allow the macarons to rest until a skin forms on the surface, approximately 30-60 minutes.
  7. Bake: Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes, then let them cool.
  8. Prepare Ganache: Heat heavy cream, pour over dark chocolate, stir until smooth, add butter, and cool.
  9. Assemble: Match macaron shells, pipe ganache, add raspberry jam, and sandwich with another shell.

Notes

  • Experiment with different flavors like white chocolate or strawberry for unique variations.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on the ganache for a touch of luxury.
