hmmmm I'm OBSESSED with macaroons at the moment....
So I booked myself on the Marvellous Macaroon course at the Atelier des Chefs.
We learnt some top tips, but the best bit was tasting the end results et voila:
The yellow ones were filled with a lime, ginger buttercream.....hmmm
The pink ones were filled with peanut butter creme patisserie and raspberry jam (not so sure about this one as I don't like peanuts except in Thai food)
The olive green ones were filled with salted butter caramel - that WAS the highlight!
here are some close ups:
Nom nom nom!!
So inspired by what seemed easy at the course I attempted my own....
The brown are chocolate shells (flavoured with cocao) filled with a chocolate honey ganache.
The pink are that vivid colour from using powder food colouring - aint it fab!
We used the left over ganache to fill the pink shells and also made some lime buttercream to finish off the last ones.
The pink were meant to be filled with a rose and raspberry creme patisserie - unfortunately my first time making it and it just didn't thicken enough - too runny for macaroon filling, so we dipped the odd ones in it instead!
The chocolate shells didn't turn out quite as pretty as the pink ones, but everyone
agreed that they tasted good ;)
The Camden Road Cook - signing off with a mouth full of macs!
