The classic Chocolate Macarons

A Chocolate Macarons is a delicate meringue-based cookie sandwich made primarily from egg whites, almond flour, and sugar. The outside is crisp but inside they’re more moist and chewy.

It has the goodness of almond, protein of egg whites and flavor of chocolate.

They are usually filled with ganache but they can be filled from anything to buttercream, mousse, meringue or your favourite filling.

Method

Ingredients

• 50 grams (50 g) almond flour
• 114 grams (114 g) powdered sugar
• 7 grams (7 g) cocoa powder
• 57 grams (57 g) egg whites aged overnight in the fridge and brought to room temperature
• 1/8 teaspoon (1/8 tsp) cream of tartar
• 28 grams (28 g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Chocolate Ganache

• 2 ounces heavy cream
• 2.5 ounces chocolate semisweet, milk or dark
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

For The Chocolate Macarons

• Preheat oven to 320ºF and line a 1/2 baking sheet with the macaron template and parchment paper
• Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and almond flour, twice if not blended.
• Pulse the mixture in a food processor 8-10 times to make the almond flour mixture even finer and texture and to blend the ingredients together.
• Whip the egg whites on low to frothy consistency and slowly add the sugar in thirds.
• Once the egg whites turn white and you can see some lines forming in the surface from the whisk, add cream of tartar, whipping on medium until soft glossy peaks form.
• Add the vanilla to the meringue during the soft peak stage. 
• Then continue whipping on medium-high until you get stiff peaks that start gathering and bunching on the inside of the whisk.
• Add 1/3 of your almond mixture to the meringue. Fold your spatula under the batter and around the edges and then cut through the center until the almond flour is mixed in. Continue with the rest of the almond flour and folding until homogenous. (see video)
• Gently press the spatula on top of the batter while you turn the bowl to take out some fo the air from the meringue.
• Continue folding around the outside edge until the batter forms a ribbon and moves like lava.
• Your meringue is ready when it forms a ribbon off the spatula and the batter that settles almost dissolves all the way back into the rest of the batter but still leave a bit of a line. 
• Place parchment paper onto your sheet pan. Pipe small rounds about 1″ in diameter. Use a template if needed
• Drop the pan onto the table 5-6 times from about 5″ above the table to release bubbles. Use a toothpick to remove big pockets of air trapped under the surface. Use a very small amount of water on your fingertip to smooth any rough spots.
• Allow to dry, uncovered until a crust forms on the surface.
• About 30 minutes – 2 hours or until a dry film develops over the surface of the cookie. For humid areas put a space heater nearby to help dry the cookies faster.
• Bake at 320ºF for about 14-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• If not quite brown baked, bake for an additional 1 minute. Cooled cookies should pull away from the parchment paper without sticking. If they do stick, they were not baked enough.
• Let cool fully before removing from the parchment and filling with ganache.

For the ganache

• Place all the ingredients into a heatproof bowl and microwave for one minute. Let sit for 5 minutes then whisk until smooth.
• Heat for another 15 seconds if not fully melted. Place into the fridge for 20 minutes then whisk until smooth. It should be the texture of peanut butter.
