Ingredients

Instructions

Chocolate Ganache

  • In a pot, combine chocolate chips and instant coffee. In a separate sauce pan, bring the whipping cream almost to a boil. Remove from heat and pour on top of the chocolate chips and instant coffee.

  • Whisk until combined. Set the ganache aside to allow it to harden a little while you make the shells.

Macaron Shells

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs with granulated sugar until the mixture begins to rise and stiffen.

  • Place piping bag into a tall cup to hold it straight. Stuff the macaron batter inside the piping bag, twisting the top to seal it inside.

  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe thick circles of batter onto the baking sheet. Tap baking sheet at least 3 times on each side to rid the batter of any air bubbles. Allow the batter circles to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

  • Bake macarons at 300°F for 12-15 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they no longer stick to the parchment paper. Allow shells to cool to room temperature.
