Proud of this attempt!
Matcha Macarons with Matcha White Chocolate ganache and Chocolate Macarons with Dark Chocolate ganache.
I’ll be honest, are they perfect? Nope. But are they still tasty? 100% 😆
I think I’m starting to understand what to look for in a macaron batter. I think I undermixed the batter on these, because even after resting I can still see the spiral of how I piped these onto the baking sheet.
For the chocolate ones, the cracking still happened after I let them rest and form a good skin that was dry to the touch. For the green ones, I think they inadvertently were mixed better because I made a large batch of meringue, and split it in half. It waited in the bowl while I finished the chocolate macarons first before mixing the batter for the matcha ones. So I think the matcha meringue was “weaker” by the time I got back to it.
Edit: Added the flavors of the macarons and their fillings.
