How to make Beetroot ganache
Ingredients needed
- cooked beetroot. There is good post at Momsdish how to cook beets. Many ways to cook beetroot (in the oven, microwave or airfryer). I usually cover rootbeet in the foil and bake in the oven at 400 degrees of Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) for 30-40 minutes, depends on the size of the root. Use your favorite method. You will need soft beetroot, that easy to cut with the fork).
- white chocolate 32%-34%. I used Valrhona Opalys 33% white chocolate for this recipe.
- goat cheese. Use your favorite goat cheese.
- fresh thyme or other herbs. Fresh herbs to decorate macarons.
When you cook beetroots and they are still warm, peal the skin and make puree. You can use food processor, Thermomix or emulsify blender. When you make puree, meashure the correct amount with the digital scale and transfer puree into small sauce pan. Warm up puree over medium heat before adding to the chocolate.
Tip from Marina: Use gloves to work with the beetroot.
Semimelt chocolate in the microwave using 20-30 seconds intervals. Add hot beetroot puree over the chocolate in 3 parts. With the help of rubber spatula keep mixing fast and pressing down. Emulsify with the hand blender. Transfer into the flat container and cover with the plastic wrap “to contact”. Let ganache set for 6-8 hours or overnight in the refregerator.
How to assemble macarons

These savory macarons were served as appetizer and I did not cover with onother macaron shell or mature in the fridge. This combination of beetroot and goat cheese is perfect for pairing with wine.
