Chocolate Reindeer Macarons

Chocolate macarons have always been on my list of macaron flavours to try.  So, what a perfect opportunity to turn them into reindeers for a Christmas bake.

These chocolate reindeer macarons are not only delicious with a chocolate ganache filling but fun to make for the festive season.

You can simply just make chocolate macarons or dress them up as reindeers.  I used pretzel sticks for the antlers, mini choc chips for the eyes, white melted chocolate for the pupils and a red lolly for the nose.

Happy Baking xo

Chocolate Reindeer Macarons

Ingredients

· 75 grams almond meal
· 1 cup icing sugar
· 2 egg whites
· 4 tablespoons caster sugar
· 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Chocolate Ganache Filling

· 150 grams dark chocolate
· ¼ cup thickened cream
· 14 grams butter, softened

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 130°C.

2. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

3. Sift almond meal, icing sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl.

4. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until dissolved.

5. Fold in half the almond mixture until just combined. Fold remaining mixture until the mixture is all combined and glossy (this may take a little bit of time). Remember to fold, not mix.

6. Spoon into a piping bag or a large snaplock bag. If using a snaplock bag, snip 1cm from a corner of the bag. Pipe round mixtures evenly onto the lined baking tray, allowing a bit of
space between each piped macaron.

7. Tap the trays on the bench to remove air bubbles. Set aside for 30 minutes to an hour, or until the tops of the macarons are dry and firm to touch.

8. Bake macarons one tray at a time for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are firm. Cool on trays and carefully transfer to cooling rack.

Chocolate Ganache Filling

9. Place chocolate and butter into a bowl and pour hot cream over it and allow it to sit for 2 minutes. Stir until ganache is smooth and place into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to thicken up.

10. Place ganache into a piping bag and pipe a small amount onto half of the macaron shells. Sandwich with the remaining macarons.

11. Pipe a small amount of melted chocolate and place two mini choc chips for the reindeer eyes. Melt some white chocolate and using a toothpick place a small amount on top of the choc chips to create the pupils.  Pipe a small amount of melted chocolate and place a red lolly to create the reindeer’s nose. For the reindeer’s antlers use some pretzels.

Tips

· Make sure the mixing bowl is completely dry when beating the egg whites. If there is water in the bowl the egg whites will NOT form a peak.

· To get evenly spaced macarons on a tray you can buy a template or make your own. I made my own by using baking paper and drawing circles evenly spaced out. I placed the template under the baking paper and piped my macarons onto the image. Remove the template after so that you can use it again.

· For more even colour on the macarons, remember to turn the tray halfway in the bake.
