The Ultimate Guide To Perfect Chocolate Macarons | Pastry Living
I’m sharing how to make perfect chocolate macarons step by step. I love making macarons with the Italian method, using Italian meringue. The surface of the macarons is so shiny and smooth, and the shells get fluffier and thicker. I added a good amount of cocoa powder to the macaron batter, which makes these macarons perfectly chocolatey. No doubt, the best chocolate macarons I’ve ever had!
[Ingredients For Chocolate Macarons]
