For my third attempt at macarons, I went chocolate. And I don’t mean the luscious chocolate ganache filling I used in my first macarons; I mean chocolate cookie.
I used the Chocolate Macaron recipe from David Lebovitz, even though I am not in France. I hope he doesn’t mind.
I don’t think I mixed it enough after I added the meringue to the other ingredients – or something, I’m not sure – but the batter did not smooth out after piping.
So, yes, my chocolate macarons look like a little doggie visited my kitchen and left me presents. Gross, I know.
But, and this is the important thing, I assure you they were divine.
I think these make a wonderful and light cookie to have plain, but macarons just beg to have filling, so I filled them with some vanilla custard.
Hmm, something’s still missing. How about vanilla custard and sliced strawberries?
There, that’s better. But you just know that is going to shoot right out the back when you bite into it, so you can always serve it like this.
Any way you serve them up, these chocolate macarons are delicious!
