Passion Fruit Macarons

Passion fruit macarons are always big hit. They disappear so fast when I make a lot of macarons with different flavors. I wanted to recreate one of my favorite Pierre Herme’s Mogador recipes. I like this combination of exotic passion fruit with milk chocolate so much. These Passion Fruit Macarons filled with passion fruit ganache and today I am sharing this recipe with you.

Ingredients for ganache

• milk chocolate. I used Callebaut milk chocolate 31.7%
• passion fruit puree
• unsalted butter room temperature

Tip from Marina: For this recipe is better to use passion fruit puree without seeds. Basically, it is passion fruit juice that sold frozen. I find it in my local grocery store. 

How to make Passion Fruit Ganache

Cut the butter into pieces and set aside. Chop the chocolate with a serrated knife and semi melt the chocolate in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals. Warm up passion fruit puree. Not more than 104^oF (40^oC).

Pour warm passion fruit puree (juice) over chocolate in 3 parts, mixing always with the help of a rubber spatula fast and pressing down. Once is well incorporated, pour it into a deep container and emulsify with a hand blender. Add room temperature unsalted butter and emulsify again.

Transfer ganache to a flat glass container, cover with plastic wrap to contact and keep in the refrigerated until it becomes creamy. This ganache I don’t keep overnight. It is ready to use after a few hours in the fridge. Transfer to a pipping bag with round pipping tip and fill macarons. 

Passion fruit has recently gained a lot of attention because it is a rich source of powerful antioxidants and other healthy benefits. I love passion fruit filling for macarons, it gives perfect balance between sweet and sour.
