So with my trusty book and several recipes online for reference, I set off to conquer macaron making. I had to let my eggs dry, so I decided to make a ganache first. I had mangos at home so I figured a mango ganache would be great, especially since I love the taste of mango.
It came out great. Mango, white chocolate ganache. Maybe a little too much white chocolate.
My eggs were dry and so I whipped till the peaks were stiff. Maybe a little too stiff because my macaron came out too airy. I added the flour mixture and then pipped.
And this is what they looked like out of the oven! There are feet!!! so I did something right!
They final product wasn't bad but over half my shells were cracked and thus rejects!
Here's my nice one. It was so time consuming and I was making them till midnight and I only had about 20 fully made cookies with ganache that weren't cracked. The grueling process really made me cranky, but I shall try again. I suppose this was my own April Fools joke on myself: thinking I could make macarons so easily.
