Chocolate Macaron by Emojoie Cuisine

26-Sep-2017

This recipe was developed by a great YouTuber called Emojoie Cuisine, and it is a part of a collaboration between the two of us. Macarons – not to be confused with macaroons – are a very popular French preparation, and I doubt that you are in any way new to it. People are generally convinced that this recipe is actually quite difficult to make, and although it might take a few attempts to prepare perfectly shaped macarons, great results can usually be obtained at the very first attempt, especially if you follow a proper recipe. I know that you are up to the task, or you wouldn’t be reading this, so gather the few ingredients needed and start whipping– you will soon find yourself in front of the most amazing homemade chocolate macarons to share with your family and friend… or not!

Ingredients[ ounces / grams ]
125gaquafaba
100gground almonds
10gcocoa powder, unsweetened
100gicing sugar
100gcaster sugar
30gwater
250gdark chocolate, chopped (min 60% solids)
125galmond milk
4.4ozaquafaba
3.5ozground almonds
0.35ozcocoa powder, unsweetened
3.5ozicing sugar
3.5ozcaster sugar
1ozwater
8.8ozdark chocolate, chopped (min 60% solids)
4.4ozalmond milk
Instructions
  1. Simmer the aquafaba over a medium heat, reduce it down to 80g, and set aside to cool.
  2. Sift together the ground almonds, the cocoa powder and the icing sugar, and stir to combine them.
  3. Whisk the aquafaba to soft peaks. Place the caster sugar and the water into a saucepan, bring to the boil over a medium heat, and cook until the temperature reaches 115°C (240°F).
  4. When the right temperature is achieved, carefully pour the sugar syrup down the side of the mixing bowl with the aquafaba, while whisking on medium speed.
  5. Once all the syrup has been incorporated, increase the speed to high, and keep whisking until firm peaks are achieved. Add all the dry ingredients at once into the bowl, draw a rubber spatula halfway through the mixture and fold until incorporated, giving the bowl a quarter turn with each fold.
  6. Continue folding and turning, scraping down the bowl, until the batter a thick, ribbon-like consistency as it falls from the spatula.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1cm round tip, and pipe small 3-4cm circles onto a baking sheet. Tap the baking sheet twice against the counter to release any air bubbles, or pierce the air bubbles with a toothpick.
  8. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the shells, and let them sit at room temperature for 90 minutes, or until no longer sticky to the touch.
  9. Place the chocolate into a bowl, heat the almond milk, pour it over the chocolate, and stir the ingredients together until glossy and smooth. Cool down at room temperature before using.
  10. Once the shells are ready, preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F), bake them for 30 minutes, and let them cool down completely. Peel the shells off the mat and sandwich them with a thin layer of filling.
  11. Place the prepared macarons in an airtight container, and let them sit at room temperature for 6 hours (or overnight), to make the shells softer and of the right consistency.
