Recipe: Green Tea Macarons with Chocolate Ganache (Trial 1)
14 Mar
I’m not sure when I decided that I wanted to try making macarons at home, but once I did, there was no turning back. I obsessively read every possible blog post I could find. I read every single tip there was to know and even posted a question on The Kitchn about it.
French macarons (not to be confused with Italian coconut macaroons) are delicate cookies made of whipped egg whites and almond flour. My first batch was green tea with a dark chocolate ganache filling; many thanks to UmamiMart for the inspiration!
Have you ever wondered why macarons are so expensive? They are small and cost at least $2.50 for each one! After this experience, I’ve figured out why.
