This week I make white chocolate and raspberry macaroons.These didn’t last very long in my house! They were eaten as soon as they were ready. I always know there good when I barely get a bit!!lol

All you need is:

  • 1 1/3 cup icing sugar
  • 1 cup almond meal

  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • icing sugar for dusting

For the white chocolate ganache:

  • 60g white chocolate
  • 1tbsp double cream
  • 10g butter (softened)

Start by preheating your oven to 125℃  and line two baking trays with baking paper, this recipe makes 18 macaroons.

Sift icing sugar into a bowl, add the almond meal and put to one side. Next, use an electric whisk and beat the egg whites till soft peaks form, add the caster sugar and beat till the sugar dissolves.

To make the ganache, place the white chocolate and cream in a saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes till the chocolate melts, remove from heat and add butter then whisk till combined. Transfer mixture into a bowl and place in the freezer for 15 minutes till nearly set.

Next lift the macaroons off baking paper and spread a teaspoon of the ganache on to the flat side of half the macaroon with a teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of each and sandwich with remaing macaroons. And your done enjoy!!!
