Ingredients
- For the macarons
- 140 grams peeled almonds
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 150 grams powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsps Coconut liqueur
- For the filling
- 100 grams dark Couverture
- 3 Tbsps Whipped cream
- 30 grams butter
- For the garnish
- 4 Tbsps roasted Coconut flakes
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 120°C (approximately 250°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For the macarons, finely grind almonds in a blender and set aside 3 tablespoons. Whip egg whites with lemon juice until stiff and gradually stir in powdered sugar. When the batter is stiff and glossy, gently fold in pistachios and liqueur. Pour batter into a piping bag with a large round spout. Pipe uniform polka dots on the baking sheet and bake about 10 minutes in the oven until macarons are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Remove macarons from the oven, remove from the baking sheet and leave to cool.
For the filling, chop chocolate into small pieces, place in a bowl and melt over a hot water bath. Whisk cream and small pieces of butter into melted chocolate. Let chocolate mixture cool slightly. Cover half of macarons with filling and cover with remaining macarons. Serve garnished with toasted coconut flakes.
