Laduree's Chocolate Macaron Recipe

Ingredients
275 g icing sugar
140 g ground almonds
4 egg whites (~120g)
25 g cocoa powder


325 g bitter chocolate
300 g cream
75 g unsalted butter


Method
Grind almonds, icing sugar and cocoa powder in a food processor for about 5 mins

Whisk egg whites until stiff then combine the almond mixture with the egg whites (you will need to keep mixing and macaroning until you achieve the correct consistency)

Pipe into rounds and allow to rest until a skin forms

Bake at 180 degrees (or lower, I would recommend) for 11-12 mins, leaving door slightly ajar with a wooden spoon

Use the bitter chocolate, cream and butter to make a ganache (heat cream, add chocolate, then butter)
