Description
Crispy outside, chewy inside—these Divine Chocolate Macarons with Ganache Filling bring luxurious French patisserie to your home kitchen. Perfectly balanced with dark chocolate and almond flavor, they’re ideal for celebrations, gifts, or personal indulgence.
Ingredients
100g almond flour
100g powdered sugar
90g egg whites (aged overnight)
100g granulated sugar
25g unsweetened cocoa powder
120g dark chocolate (finely chopped)
120ml heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.
2. Whip aged egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
3. Fold dry ingredients into the meringue until the batter flows like lava.
4. Pipe even rounds on parchment-lined baking sheet and tap to remove air bubbles.
5. Rest piped shells for 30–60 minutes until a skin forms.
6. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 14–16 minutes. Cool completely.
7. Heat cream to a simmer, pour over chocolate, rest 2 minutes, then stir with butter until smooth.
8. Sandwich ganache between cooled macaron shells and chill for 24 hours before serving.
Notes
Use aged egg whites to create a more stable meringue.
Let piped shells rest fully before baking to avoid cracks.
Chill assembled macarons overnight for best flavor and texture.
