Method

Preheat oven to 170°C and place two unlined baking trays on the middle shelves.

Melt 60g of chocolate in a bowl over simmering water without letting the bowl touch the water.

Combine icing sugar, ground almonds, and two egg whites into a paste.

Fold the melted chocolate into the paste and set aside.

Whisk two egg whites and lemon juice on medium speed in a mixer.

Cook sugar and water in a pan until it reaches 117°C.

Slowly pour the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites while mixing at low speed.

Increase speed to high and whisk for 3 minutes.

Fold the meringue into the chocolate paste until it reaches the ribbon stage.

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with an 8mm nozzle.

Pipe 3cm discs onto greaseproof paper, spaced 2cm apart.

Slide the paper onto the pre-heated baking trays.

Bake for 8 minutes and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Bring whipping cream to a boil in a small pan.

Whisk 100g of chocolate into the hot cream until smooth and place in a piping bag.

Pipe 5ml of ganache onto one macaroon and sandwich with another.

Store the assembled macaroons in an airtight container in the fridge.
