Cooking Instructions
- 1
🔸Separate the egg yolks from the white. Keep the white eggs in the fridge 24h.
- 2
🔸Melt the chocolate in the microwave with a bit or milk. Mix with the egg yolks and vanilla sugar. Put aside.
- 3
🔸In a pot, bring the cream to the boil. Pour it on the chocolate and mix until you get a nice consistency. Then it's time to add the soft butter and let it rest in the fridge until it is solid. Tips : You can prepare it the day before and save some time !

🔸Sift the almond powder and the icing sugar on a baking dish. Cook it in the oven at 150°C and let it cool down. This step is very important if you want to have the macaron smooth and feel the almond taste.
- 5
🔸Sift the cacao with the almond/icing sugar mix. I put 3 tea spoons but you can add less, depending on your personal tastes.
- 6
🔸Start to whisk the white eggs. When they start to be firm, add slowly the sugar and keep on whisking until they form peak. When it is done, you can flip the pot and your Meringue shouldn't move.
- 7
🔸Sift the almond mix above the Meringue and mix slowly with a flat silicone spatula ("Maryse"). ❗️You can do it in two part and be sure to find the correct balance between too much mixing (liquid) and not enough. ❗️This part is very important for the shape of your future macarons.

🔸On the baking dish covered with greaseproof and with a piping bag, make your macaron as big as you want and make sure they are all regular to assemble them later.
- 9
🔸Let the macaron rest 1h at room temperature in a dry environnement. This step help them to have the typical macaron "collerette" in the oven.
- 10
🔸Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- 11
🔸Put into the oven the macarons. If you have an oven heating on the top, the baking dish has to be in the lower part of it (reverse if it heat from bottom). If it is a swiveling heat, place the dish in the middle.
- 12
🔸You have to be careful with the cooking time. When the collerette is done (the macarons have rised), Open the oven to release the steam. Usually the cooking time is 10minutes but it depends on the oven (With the electric oven I have now, it took 10min to have the collerette so I cooked them 17min). The best way is to take a look at the shape and texture of the macaron : it has to be soft but "dry". You are the only judge.
- 13
🔸Take them out of the oven and cool down. A perfectly cooked macaron will be easy to remove from the paper but not be empty in the middle.
- 14
🔸Spread the chocolate cream you made the day before on half of the macaoon. Put the second half by squeezing and spinning slowly to spread properly the cream.
- 15
🔸Let them rest 1h in the fridge before serving.

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.

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 -
French Macarons French Macarons
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.

Matcha Macarons Matcha Macarons
My daughter taught me how to make macarons. We both fell in love with these delicate cookies when we first traveled to Paris back in 2001. This recipe makes 15 macarons. Feel free to substitute out the matcha for any other dried flavor that you like (I've used freeze-dried raspberries, blue butterfly pea flowers, and plan to make some with French instant coffee).

Easy! Chocolate Macarons 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 -

Rich Bitter Chocolate Macarons Rich Bitter Chocolate Macarons
Using the recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as a base, I increased the amount of cocoa mass to enrich the flavor. This recipe aims to create the ultimate moist and rich macaron without using cocoa powder.-If you use fresh egg whites, the macaron shells will crack and the "pied" or "foot" of the macaron will not form properly. You have to use old egg whites.-The success of Italian meringue depends on the temperature of the syrup and when you add the egg white. When you are adding the syrup, even though you are adding it bit by bit, do it quickly! If you do it too slowly, it will clump up. Recipe by yukoz1
