Easter Macarons with White Chocolate and Passionfruit Ganache

Easter Macarons with White Chocolate and Passion fruit Ganache…… You haven’t seen such a long post title on My Easy Cooking in ages, right? Well, I think it is ok to every now and then put your fancy jacket on and do something special, something extraordinary, something you would not normally do. Making macarons is something I have put off for too long, it was time I put my fears to rest and give it a go… Oh, I so wish I still had my blanky, my safety blanket……
I looked through my old Taste Magazines and found my safety blanket……In the November 2011 issue of this fine magazine, my foodie idol Abigail Donnely had a step by step tutorial on how to make these delicate French fancies and her claim was that she will remove the myth that making macarons should be left to the professionals. I am certainly no professional, so I reckoned her theory should work for me… I placed my hand firmly in hers and took it step my step…..and guess what? It worked, oh wow, I was so proud that I took the plunge and tried something new and exciting. It is time you do to…….
Easter Macarons with White Chocolate and Passion fruit Ganache
White Chocolate and Passion fruit Ganache
100ml cream
220 g white chocolate – I used buttons
pulp of two granadillas
Break chocolate in smaller pieces or place buttons in a glass bowl. Heat the cream in a small pot and just before it starts boiling, remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Allow to stand until chocolate is melted and mix until it has a smooth consistency. If all the chocolate has not melted, place the bowl in the microwave for a few seconds until it has. Mix in the pulp and cool the mixture until it has the desire consistency.
Sandwich two macarons with some of the filling and place in your prettiest bowl. You have conquered!
I tried making macaroons once and it was a total disaster! I will try it once again!
Happy Easter to you and your family, Nins!

I made this macarons and their so delicious!
About Macarons, I noticed that one must weigh the egg whites to be successful. One egg white must weigh exactly 36 grms, two 72 gr and so forth. The eggs must be kept out of the fridge over night or longer. Then the macarons are mostly a success.
I like your recipes! Best so far.
