CHOCOLATE MACAROONS



Chocolate Macaroons image

I've been saving this since 1997 from McCall's magazine. Here are the last three recipes. Go to Chicken Soup With Matzo Balls to read more. Here is the last Macaroon recipe. Here is a few other interesting things they had in the artical. A taste of history: The seder plate...Every food represents portions of the Passover story. Zeroah, a roasted shank bone, symbolizes the lamb sacrificed on Passover eve. A roasted egg, betzah, signifies eternal life. Haroset, a mix of apples and wine, is inspired by the mortar used to build Pharaoh's cities. Horseradish is a reminder of life in slavery. Karpas, a vegetable dipped in salt water, commemorates spring. Calling all kids...The afikomen, or ceremonial matzo, is hidden at the beginning of dinner by the seder leader. A prize (usually candy or money) goes to the child who finds it. The matzo is then shared by everyone at the table.

CHOCOLATE MACAROONS



Chocolate Macaroons image

You don't have to serve these amaretti scuri with the budino di cioccolato but I had to do something with the egg whites left over from the pudding and this is it. I love these macaroons so much that I gladly make them without that excuse, though. They are heady with chocolate and gorgeously chewy and, all in all, dangerously addictive. Luckily (or not, depending on your point of view here) they are quick and easy to make.

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 26m

Yield about 25

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 egg whites
1 cup ground almonds
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment or preferably silicon pad.
  • Mix egg whites (unbeaten) with the ground almonds, cocoa and powdered sugar until you have a sticky but cohesive mixture.
  • Fill a large bowl with cold water and dip your hands in it to wet them before rolling the mixture into little balls the size of small walnuts. You will probably have to redunk your hands to keep wetting them as you go.
  • Arrange the macaroon-balls on the lined baking tray and put in the oven to bake for 11 minutes. It's hard to tell when they're ready, as they will seem squishy but they harden up a little as they cool, and anyway, they should be damp within; that's what makes them chewy, so don't worry that the macaroons look sticky underneath.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them reach their full volume and create stiff peaks.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam. This will help prevent them from becoming grainy.
  • Add the sugar to the egg whites in three additions, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming too stiff.
  • Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites gently, using a spatula. Overmixing will result in a tough macaroon.
  • Pipe the macaroon batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Leave about 1 inch of space between each macaroon to allow for spreading.
  • Bake the macaroons at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have a matte finish.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. This will help prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Chocolate macaroons are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can easily make these classic French cookies at home. These tips will help you achieve the perfect chocolate macaroon every time.
