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 104F (40C).

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.
