Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup black cherry jam
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine and finely chop the powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder.
Beat the egg whites until foamy in a large mixing bowl, then gradually add the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
In two batches, fold in the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Fill a piping bag with the mixture and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Allow the macarons to sit for 15 minutes to form a skin after gently tapping the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the macarons are firm on top.
Allow the macarons to completely cool on the baking sheet.
Heat the black cherry jam in a small saucepan until it is warm and spreadable.
Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a separate bowl in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Sandwich half of the macarons with the black cherry jam and the other half with the chocolate ganache.
Refrigerate the macarons in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
