How to Make Chocolate Macarons (NO Macaronage NO Drying) Recipe

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 1hr + cooling time

Number of servings: 10 (1.5inch) macarons

Ingredients:

1 egg white

6 tbsp. granulated sugar

6 tbsp. almond flour

1 tbsp. cocoa powder

Chocolate Ganache

* 50g semi-sweet chocolate

* 50ml heavy whipping cream

Directions:

1. Let's make chocolate ganache first because it takes time to set. Microwave the heavy cream for 30 seconds or until hot. Break in chocolate and mix until combined. Transfer into a piping bag and put in the fridge for a few hours to cool completely.

2. Put egg white and granulated sugar in a bowl. Mix and melt the sugar over hot water. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff glossy peaks form. The mixture won't drip when you lift the beaters.

3. Sift in almond flour and cocoa powder, then gently mix with a spatula until combined.

4. Preheat oven to 200C (390F).

5. Put the batter in a pastry bag and snip off the end. Pipe out the batter into an inch and a half circles.

6. Bake at 200C (390F) for about 3 minutes. Then turn down to 130C (266F) and bake for about 10 minutes. Leave in the oven for 5 minutes. Then cool.

7. Pipe out the chocolate ganache onto the bottom-side of half the macaron shells. Match up with top shells to finish.
