Make sure you cook this in 30 second bursts so you don't burn your chocolate. Then you want to mix everything together with your whisk until the chocolate starts to come together and look just like this. Place a cling film on top of your bowl and this will go into the fridge until is completely set which can take six to eight hours once your chocolate ganache has been done you want to see that it's nice and set and at this stage you want to just take a spoon and place your mixture into a piping bag with no nozzle once your mixture is done you want to set this aside into your food processor add your ground almonds then add icing sugar and i like to layer it just on top then add more ground almonds so this way get mixed quite nice and well and even we're going to close the lid and we're going to blitz this together until it becomes nice and fine powder this way it saves you time to sieve it but if you don't have a food processor don't worry you can just sieve the mixtures together into a bowl then place all your mixture into a large bowl and make a little dip in the middle with your spatula and we're going to add our egg whites in here. Make sure that they're room temperature, this gives you the best result. Then you want to mix everything together, combine the egg whites with our almond mixture and just mix it together until it becomes nice sort of almondy paste just like this. You can just set it aside and leave it for now. Next we're going to make our sugar glaze so add your water and sugar into a pan and we're going to cook this on a high heat at first until the sugar starts to melt and you can use a little wooden spatula to mix everything together. Just move it around make sure that everything is mixed in together. You might want to use a pastry brush with some water make sure it's not caramelizing on top and the sugar is not burning and then I'm placing a thermometer or sugar thermometer whatever you have in your kitchen just to keep an eye on the temperature. While the sugar is boiling we're going to add our egg whites into a stand mixer and whisk this on high speed. When the syrup reaches 115 degrees celsius and your egg whites start to get a little frothy. We then want to cook the syrup until it reaches 118 degrees and pour it over the egg whites in a slow and steady stream. You're going to whisk this for about seven minutes until you start to see stiff peaks. Then you want to stop the mix to scrape down and then whisk for extra couple of minutes and then when you can turn the bowl over, then the meringue doesn't fall out, you know you've reached the stiff peaks. And then once it's incorporated it should be done and ready. Next grab your spatula full of the meringue and fold it into the almond sugar mixture and you want to mix it until it's well combined. This actually allows the mixture to thin out a little bit before you add the rest of the mixture and doesn't get out all the air. Fold everything together by going around the bowl with a spatula and then through the middle. Continue folding until the batter gets thin enough that it drips off the spatula and falls into ribbon. It should take about 10 seconds for the ribbon to disappear into the rest of the batter. That is when you know that the batter is ready to pipe and that's when you want to pipe it into a piping bag with a round tip. Pipe the little rounds of batter about three and a half centimeters in diameter spacing them two centimeters apart on the flat baking trays lined with baking parchment paper. You want to gently tap the tray on the work surface a couple of times so there are no bubbles then leave to stand for at least 30 minutes until the skin forms on the shelves they shouldn't be sticky when you touch them then you want to preheat your oven to 150 degrees celsius or 300 fahrenheit and bake them for about 23 minutes times of baking might vary depending on your oven so it completely a lot of trials if your oven is different and they brown on one side turn the fan down guys and girls i have my recipe on my website at alizyummyfood.com you'll find full ingredients and also directions on how to make this and also you'll be able to find loads of other recipes that i do for my channel and just click through click on the picture and you'll be able to see the whole video with the directions and the full recipe in english and russian languages spray them with some cocoa powder on top or anything else that you like and then they're going to come off quite easily using a spatula and look at these shells now you want to fill them up with your chocolate ganache just pull and pipe around the edges and just do that with the rest of your macarons and we're gonna take another shelf and seal it from both ends just like that and then place them into the fridge so they're completely set once they have been sort of piped they look so cute so delicious i really love the vanilla and chocolate flavor you can have them with anything with tea coffee on their own and i really really love the texture absolutely stunning so delicious i hope you try this recipe and if you do please tag me on my social media at alice yummy food and i hope to see you soon
