Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 ounces, weight Almond Flour; 1 ounce, weight Cocoa; 7 ounces, weight Icing Sugar; 4 ounces, weight Egg Whites (about 3 Eggs); 5 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar; Food Coloring Paste Or Gel (optional); FOR THE GANACHE:; 4 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate; 1/4 cups Double Cream; 1 ounce, weight Butter

Servings: persons

1
Measure all ingredients carefully!
2
Sift almond flour, cocoa and icing sugar and stir.
3
Whisk egg whites until they turn white. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time while beating and continue whisking until meringue is firm and glossy. If you want to color the batter, you can do it now.
4
Gently fold almond flour mixture into meringue until smooth. The batter is supposed to be a little loose, but not too loose-just loose enough so it flattens out on the baking sheet.
5
Fill a piping bag with a round tip and pipe small portions, the size of a two-pence coin, on a baking sheet. Let rest for 30 minutes.
6
Bake at 150u00b0C (300u00b0F) for about 15 minutes. Macarons are ready when they come loose from the baking paper.
7
For the ganache:
8
Heat cream on the stove and remove from the heat just before it starts to boil. Stir in chopped chocolate and finish by whisking in butter.
9
Release all meringues from the baking sheet. Fill a piping bag with chocolate ganache and pipe on the flat size of half the meringues. Sandwich with the remaining meringues.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
