Grand macaron délicieux is a trendy and delicious dessert that consists of two large almond flour cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling in the middle. The macaron cookies have a sweet and crisp outer shell, while the filling can vary from flavors like chocolate ganache, fruit jam, or buttercream.
To make a grand macaron délicieux, you will need the following ingredients:
- 200g almond flour
- 200g powdered sugar
- 150g egg whites (aged for at least 24 hours)
- 50g granulated sugar
- Food coloring (optional)
- Filling of your choice (e.g., chocolate ganache, fruit jam, buttercream, etc.)
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a grand macaron délicieux:
In a food processor, mix the almond flour and powdered sugar until well combined. Sift the mixture to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form. At this point, you can add food coloring if desired.
Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the beaten egg whites until the batter is smooth and shiny. Be careful not to overmix.
Prepare a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the macaron batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating circles of about 3-4 inches in diameter. Leave enough space between each macaron as they will spread slightly.
Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Let the macarons rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature, allowing them to develop a dry shell.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for about 15-18 minutes or until the outer shells are firm and not sticky to the touch. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Once the macarons have cooled, match them up in pairs of similar sizes. Fill a piping bag with your desired filling and pipe a small amount onto the flat side of one macaron. Gently sandwich it together with another macaron.
Let the filled macarons chill in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to soften.
Enjoy your grand macaron délicieux! They make for a delightful treat and are sure to impress your friends and family. Good luck with your university exams!
