Method
- Sift the icing sugar, cocoa powder and ground almonds together, twice.
- Whip the egg whites till frothy consistency then slowly add the granulated sugar.
- Once peaks start to form, (if using coffee instead of cocoa, add in now) add in 1/3 of the almond mixture, fold your spatula under the batter and around the edges to fold.
- Add in the rest of the almond mixture and continue to fold until it forms a ribbon off the spatula.
- Pipe the mixture onto a baking sheet in 1 inch rounds.
- Drop the pan on a surface 6-7 times to release any bubbles and use a toothpick to remove any big pockets of air.
- Allow to sit and form a crust over the top for about 1 hour.
- Place the macarons in a pre-heated oven of 320 F for 14-15 minutes, until the macarons pull away from the cookie sheet without sticking.
- Let them cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet and filling with ganache.
- For the ganache, heat the cream, chocolate (or coffee and vanilla pudding) and salt through until the chocolate is melted.
- Allow to cool in fridge for 20 minutes, then whisk until smooth and the texture of peanut butter.
- Pipe onto half of the macarons and place the other halves on top.
