This is a “better” version of how to make macarons, and also a chocolate recipe! I hope this is more helpful than the first macaron video I uploaded 🙂
Chocolate Macaron Shells:
1 cup of powdered sugar
3/4 cup of almond meal
2 tablespoons of usweetened cocoa powder
2 room temperature egg whites
4 tablespoons of granulated sugar
Chocolate Ganache:
8 oz of semi sweet chocolate
1 cup of heavy whipping cream – you can adjust to 1/2 cup to make it thicker
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Method:
Sift the powdered sugar and almond meal into a bowl. Mix to combine
In a separate bowl, or in your KitchenAid Mixer, whisk up your egg whites gradually from low to high speed. When they start to get frothy, add your granulated sugar, but one tablespoon at a time. Keep on beating the egg whites and you should get glossy, white meringue. You can bring it to stiff peaks, but I find that soft peaks have the best consistency. Then you are going to fold your almond and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue about 1/3 or 1/2 at a time. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe out circles being any size you’d like. Bang them on the counter to release any air bubbles. Let them set for 15mins -1 hour depending on the humidity of your area. Sometimes it takes 10 mins, 30 mins, or up to an hour. You’ll know they’re ready when you can touch them and no batter comes on your finger. Bake them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 minutes, with the oven racks being on the top and bottom. When they are done baking, switch the pans around and put them on opposite racks so they cook evenly. Bake for another 9 minutes.
Chocolate GANACHE METHOD:
Put 1 inch of water in a pot and bring it to a simmer. Place a bowl over it and put in your chocolate, cream, and vanilla. Let it melt and stir to combine. Then, take the bowl off the heat and let it cool. Place the ganache into the fridge for 1-2 hours to let it thicken.
Then place some ganache onto a macaron shell and sandwich it together with another macaron shell and they’re done!
