Ingredients

Macarons

  • 10 oz almond powder
  • 10 oz icing sugar
  • 10 oz egg whites

Meringue

  • 4 1/2 oz egg whites
  • 10 oz granulated sugar
  • 5 teaspoons water

Maple Cream

  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 packet neutral unflavoured gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cups 35% cream

Method

Meringue and macarons:

  1. For the meringue, blend sugar and water, and cook in a saucepan at 120°C (250°F).
  2. Check the temperature with a candy thermometer. Set aside.
  3. Turn to the macaron ingredients, first mixing the almond powder and icing sugar in a bowl. Then incorporate the 300g of egg whites and whip for 3 minutes.
  4. Returning to the meringue, beat the other 130g of egg whites and the cooked sugar mixture into stiff peaks.
  5. When the meringue has cooled, blend the two mixtures by gently stirring them together.
  6. Using a piping bag or small spoon, drop the macaron mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper. Leave them for about 30 minutes at room temperature to let a crust form, and then bake 6 – 7 in a 180°C oven.
  7. Take out and allow to rest under a damp cloth.

Maple cream:

  1. In a saucepan, warm the maple syrup over low heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, dilute the gelatin in the cold water and incorporate it into the maple syrup, stirring continuously.
  3. In another bowl, whip the 3 egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture whitens.
  4. Add this to the maple syrup mixture.
  5. Whip the 35% cream, blend all together, and allow to rest 1 – 2 hours.

Finishing:

  1. Using a piping bag or small spoon, garnish the centre of a macaron with cream and press a second macaron onto it. Allow to stand in a cool place 5 – 6 hours.
