Ispahan macaron
- 1 egg white (around 30g)
- 20 g white sugar
- 65 g icing sugar
- 40 g almond powder
- 2 tsp red food colouring
- 2 tsp rose water
- 100 g white chocolate
- 5 g butter
- 30 g whipping cream
- Let's make the macaron shell first.
- Sieve almond powder and icing sugar, mix them together in mixing bowl.
- Beat the egg white gently, then add in white sugar.
- Meanwhile, add in food colouring.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white until peaks are formed.
- When the egg white is ready, fold in almond sugar mixture using a spatula.
- Fold until the mixture is smooth.
- To check the consistency of the batter, leave up the spatula from the batter and it should fall off like ribbon.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag, pipe the mixture into 6 7.5cm diameter circles on a non-stick baking paper.
- Tap the baking tray twice to remove air bubbles of the batter.
- Now wait at least 30min in room temperature to let the mixture dry out.
- Preheat the oven to 190C.
- When the mixture is complete dried, (you can test by gently touching the surface of the macaron.
- The mixture should not stick on your hand once it's ready.)
- you can now put in the oven for 13-15 min.
- When the macarons are done, cool them on the rack with the baking paper until they are completely cooled.
- Remove them carefully and set aside.
- Now, let's work on the Ganache.
- Melt the Chocolate with butter, mix well.
- After that, slowly add in whipping cream and mix well.
- Then add in rose water to taste.
- Transfer the ganache into a pastry bag, pipe the ganache at the centre of a macaron shell only, then put 6-7 raspberries surrounding the macaron and 1 at the centre of the macaron.
- Cover the centre of the macaron with generous amount of Ganache and cover it with another macaron.
- Do the same for rest of the macaron.
- Top with small amount of Ganache, 1 raspberry and icing sugar to finish.
