Chocolate-Praline Macarons
"The idea behind this recipe is to offer an even more indulgent, less sweet macaron with a naturally praline color. Using praline powder adds more flavor with less effort."
Yields approximately 100 macarons of Ø4 cm
Stepss : 2
1 - Praline Macarons
- 55g Egg whites (1)
- 2g Albuwhip (Sosa)
- 150g Granulated sugar
- 50g Water
- 50g Egg whites (2)
- 100g Blanched almond flour (Sosa)
- 200g Praline Powder (Weiss)
- QS Cocoa powder (Weiss)
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites (1) with the Albuwhip until foamy.
In a saucepan, cook the water and granulated sugar to 118°C (244°F).
Pour the hot sugar syrup over the egg whites and continue beating until cool and a firm meringue is obtained.
In a bowl, mix the egg whites (2) with the praline powder and almond flour. Gradually fold in the meringue, then macaronnage (mix until the batter is smooth and shiny).
Pipe the macarons to the desired size using a Ø10 mm pastry tip onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.
Sprinkle with praline powder or cocoa powder and bake without allowing to crust at 140°C (284°F) for approximately 12 minutes in a convection oven for Ø4 cm macarons.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool immediately after baking.
