These decadent and elegant Dark Chocolate Ganache Macarons are ideal for any occasion. The delicate almond shells are filled with a rich and creamy chocolate ganache that will satisfy the cravings of any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

• 4 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 3 large egg whites, room temp
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup finely ground almonds

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 45 minutes
• Cook Time: 18 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour, 3 minutes

Instructions

• Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
• Sift together the powdered sugar and ground almonds in a medium mixing bowl.
• Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until frothy.
• Continue to beat the egg whites with the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in the almond mixture until just combined with the egg whites.
• Fill a piping bag with a 1/2-inch round tip with the batter.
• Pipe 1-inch circles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between them.
• Tap the baking sheets' bottoms on a flat surface to release any air bubbles.
• Allow the macarons to form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are set and the bottoms can be lifted without sticking from the parchment.
• Allow the macarons to completely cool on the baking sheets.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl to make the ganache.
• Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it is just simmering.
• Allow the cream to sit for 1 minute on top of the chocolate.
• Combine the chocolate and cream until smooth and glossy.
• Fill a piping bag with a small round tip with the ganache.
• Pipe a small amount of ganache onto half of the macarons' flat sides.
• Place the remaining macarons on top, gently pressing to sandwich the ganache.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
