Ingredients

Macarons

  • 100 gram Almond Flour
  • 150 gram Powdered Sugar
  • 75 gram egg white approx. 2 cups
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 50 gram Sugar
  • Paste Color As desired

Licorice Ganache

  • 100 gram White chocolate
  • 50 gram Whipping Cream
  • 40 gram Syrup salty licorice syrup - I use the one from Bülow

Instructions

Macarons

  • Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together.
  • Whip the egg whites stiff with salt and gradually whip in the sugar until it becomes a thick and smooth meringue.
  • Add color – a few drops should be enough – and gently fold in the almond flour/powdered sugar mixture.
  • Fill the mixture into a piping bag with a smooth, round nozzle and pipe it into approximately 40 small circles (about 2 cm) on baking trays lined with parchment paper.
  • Gently tap the tray on the counter to remove air bubbles and let the macarons sit for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit) with convection.

Licorice ganache

  • While they bake, make the licorice ganache:
  • Chop the chocolate, heat the cream to boiling point together with the syrup.
  • Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Place it in the refrigerator for about an hour while the macarons also cool.
  • Once both have cooled, fill the ganache into a piping bag with a round nozzle, and pipe small peaks on half of the macaron shells.
  • Assemble the macarons with the remaining shells.
