What is ganache?

Ganache is emulsion between two main components: fat (chocolate) and water (heavy cream or fruit puree). This Dark Chocolate Raspberry ganache is smooth and shiny. First you taste chocolate and then raspberry. This classic combination of dark chocolate and raspberries will be great addition in your macarons journey.

How to make Dark Chocolate Raspberry ganache

Chop chocolate finely and place in a plastic bowl or cup. Melt the chocolate in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals. Meanwhile, in the small pot heat raspberry puree and glucose syrup till just begins to simmer. Do not boil! Pour the warm mixture over the chocolate in 3 parts, mixing always with the help of a rubber spatula. Do it fast and pressing down. Once is well incorporated, pour it into deep container. Emulsify with a hand blender. Add unsalted butter room temperature and emulsify again. After that, transfer mixture to a glass bowl and cover with the plastic wrap “to contact”. Let set for at least 8-10 hours (or overnight) in the refregirator.

Tip from Marina: I like to pair macarons shells right after they cool off and move into plastic container.

How to fill macarons

Transfer ganache into pipping bag with round tip ( Wilton 10) and fill macarons shells. Flip over half your cookies and pipe generous amounts of ganache into the center. Sandwich the cookies and twist together. That’s all!

How to store macarons

After you fill macarons with ganache, put macarons into air-tight container. Keep macarons refrigerated for 24 hours. They need to mature. This is very important step! Do not skip it!
