Easy! Chocolate Macarons
I love macarons and have tried various macaron recipes. These are convenient for Valentine's Day etc.
The main tip is to pre-freeze your egg whites. Also be careful to follow the instructions when performing the macaronage. Also be sure to properly dry the macarons. If it's difficult to make them all the same size, before squeezing out the dough, draw small 2.5 cm circles on the underside of the parchment paper to make it easier. Recipe by kaorun92

Cooking Instructions
- 1
##For the Dough## Let the egg whites defrost naturally until they are liquid again. Sift all the [＊] ingredients together twice.
- 2
Take the egg whites and the granulated sugar and make the meringue. Add in the granulated sugar into two steps. Whip it until stiff peaks form.
- 3
Now take what you sifted together in Step 1 and divide it into two portions. Mix each portion one by one into the middle of the meringue with a rubber spatula.
- 4
Mix the dough and press down with the rubber spatula and macaronage the dough (scoop up from around the sides of the bowl, plop dough down on top in the center, and gently "rub" your dough into the bowl. Repeat). Once the dough starts to become shiny, and it falls from the spatula in ribbons, it's ready.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 140℃ and pour the dough into a plastic bag with a small hole cut in. Squeeze out the dough into 2.5 cm diameter pieces on top of parchment paper.
- 6
Let the dough sit out to dry for 1 hour at room temperature (let it sit out till it no longer sticks to your finger when you touch it).
- 7
Bake for 13 minutes at 140℃. Take out the tray, reverse it, and bake again for 2 minutes at 170℃.
- 8
## For the Ganache ## Place the chocolate, broken up into small pieces, into the heavy cream. Microwave it for 40 seconds and then mix well till it softens.
- 9
Once the ganache has stiffened up, spread it out on the cooled macaron biscuits, sandwich, and it's done!

My Favorite Macarons (Chocolate) My Favorite Macarons (Chocolate)
This is the 4th version of my macaron recipe. These cute macarons are bittersweet petit fours. Chocolate macarons are often filled with ganache, but I fill them with buttercream. Ganache filling is delicious too, but it's a little too sweet for me, so I make them this way.This recipe is only a simple explanation of how to make macarons. Macarons are a delicate dessert, so if you want to know more details about how to make them, refer to my other macaron recipe (My Favorite Macarons (Matcha). Recipe by Yukiline -

I was inspired by my friend who loved french Macarons, (not the coconut type). The colors are so attractive, the flavors are delicious. There's barely any ingredients, but it has to be made just right or else they bomb.

I prefer to make these myself at home and just play around with the flavors, as there's really nowhere to buy them where I live...not to mention they can be pricy when I do find them (anywhere from $2-$5 per cookie!) They can be finicky and they require patience. Once you master the basic recipe, you can make endless flavor variations. I'm by no means an expert, but this is the basic recipe that I use. To make them different colors, use 2-4 drops of gel food coloring and add it to the eggs once soft peaks have formed, then continue to whip them into stiff peaks. Keep in mind that they will turn out a shade or so lighter after baking than the batter is initially. You can also add up to 1/4 tsp. of a flavored extract at the same time as the food coloring.

Frozen Macarons Frozen Macarons
As soon as I saw these two colors of dragées, I had an inspiraiton. My first inspiration was the colors of Snow Miku (winter-themed Hatsune Miku). Both Snow Miku and Frozen fit the image of these macarons perfectly.The oven temperature will vary depending on the season (and the room temperature).In the winter, start at 200°C and go to 130°C. In the summer, start at 180°C and go to 120°C. Observe the macarons and adjust. If the macarons get browned they'll no longer have a "snowy" image.If you are using powdered food coloring, dissolve it in a bit of water first. Recipe by RTP.
