Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure your butter is very cold before you start baking. This will help to keep the crust from spreading too much in the oven.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the macaroons in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin.
  • Be careful not to overbake the crust. It should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it with your favorite pie or tart filling.
