Macaroon Monday

Double Chocolate Macaroons

 

This afternoon I had a little visitor, Emma decided to work from home. Once she had done all her Aamos tasks for the day we tried to make Macaroons again, my 2nd attempt Emma's 3rd.

Meringue with icing sugar & almond flour                   Adding the coco powder     

 

There was already almond flour mixed with icing flour left over from Emma's last bake off we went for double chocolate macaroons, the general recipe came from Pinterest originally but Emma added coco to the meringue and we think that maybe made it not look so pretty. I was in charge of the ganache which was made with milk chocolate (Green & Black), cream, vanilla & a pinch of salt very say but once it's cooled we whipped it and it made it super tasty.

Pouring hot cream over the chocolate               I love when it goes all silky...nummy

 

 

Again not 100% happy with this attempt either but it just means that I will need to try again

... What a shame!

 

We think that the coco powder maybe didn't do the meringue

any favours so back to the drawing board we go
