Description
Create spooky yet delightful Black Cocoa Mummy Macarons that are perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 100 grams egg whites
- room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 60 grams granulated sugar
- 110 grams almond flour
- 180 grams powdered sugar
- 20 grams black cocoa powder
- 1–2 drops black food coloring
- optional
- 226 grams white chocolate
- chopped
- 120 grams heavy cream
- candy eyes
- optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
- Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and black cocoa powder into a separate bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue until fully combined. If desired, add black food coloring.
- Transfer the macarons mixture into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, each about 1.5 inches wide.
- Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or until a skin forms on the surface.
- Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, until they have risen and are firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling, then pour over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool until thickened.
- Fill half of the macarons with white chocolate ganache and sandwich with the other half. Decorate with candy eyes for a spooky look.
Notes
Make sure to age your egg whites for a few days for the best texture; you can also use a silicone mat for perfect macaron shapes.
