Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg white
3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
1 (4 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

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.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE FRENCH MACAROONS



Raspberry Chocolate French Macaroons image

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

For macaroons
6 oz sliced blanched almonds (not slivered; 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3 large egg whites
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Red or pink food coloring
For chocolate raspberry ganache
3 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (60 to 64% cacao), finely chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1/16 teaspoon raspberry extract (preferably McCormick brand)
Special Equipment
parchment paper; a gallon-size sealable plastic bag (not pleated)

Steps:

  • Make macaroons:
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Pulse almonds with 1/2 cup confectioners sugar in a food processor until very finely ground, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Sift in remaining cup confectioners sugar, stirring to combine.
  • Beat egg whites with salt in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add granulated sugar, a little at a time, beating, then increase speed to high and continue to beat until whites just hold stiff, glossy peaks. Add drops of food coloring to reach desired shade and mix at low speed until evenly combined. Stir almond mixture into meringue with a rubber spatula until completely incorporated. (Meringue will deflate.)
  • Spoon batter into bag, pressing out excess air, and snip off 1 corner of plastic bag to create a 1/4-inch opening. Twist bag firmly just above batter, then pipe peaked mounds of batter (the size of a chocolate kiss) onto lined sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Let cookies stand, uncovered, at room temperature until tops are no longer sticky and a light crust forms, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until crisp and edges are just slightly darker, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on sheets on racks, about 30 minutes.
  • Make ganache while macaroons bake:
  • Melt chocolate with cream in a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water or in top of a double boiler, stirring until smooth. (Bowl should not touch water.) Remove bowl from heat, then add butter and raspberry extract, stirring until butter is melted. Let stand at room temperature until cooled completely and slightly thickened.
  • Assemble cookies:
  • Carefully peel cookies from parchment (they will be fragile). Sandwich a thin layer of ganache (about 1/2 teaspoon) between flat sides of cookies.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Macaroon Recipes

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup flaked coconut
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup milk
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line a work surface with waxed paper.
  • Stir oats, cocoa powder, and coconut together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk sugar, milk, and butter together in a nonstick pot; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir vanilla extract into butter mixture.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This is the most important ingredient in macaroons, so don't skimp. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily and give your macaroons a lighter texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the flavors to develop and the macaroons to rise properly.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature. This will help them to bake evenly without burning.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping out.

Conclusion:

Chocolate macaroons are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little patience and care, you can easily make them at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your macaroons turn out perfectly.
