Step-by-Step Instructions for Dark Chocolate Raspberry Macarons
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat 3 room temperature egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 100g granulated sugar and whisk until stiff peaks emerge.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 130g almond flour and 150g powdered sugar. Gently fold the dry mixture into the prepared meringue.
- Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 3cm in diameter.
- Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes. Let them cool completely on the tray.
- In a small saucepan, heat 120ml of heavy cream until it simmers. Pour over 200g chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir in 30g unsalted butter.
- Once the macaron shells are cool, pair them up by size. Spread dark chocolate ganache on one shell, add raspberry jam, and top with another shell.
