I’m sharing how to make perfect chocolate macarons step by step. I love making macarons with the Italian method, using Italian meringue. The surface of the macarons is so shiny and smooth, and the shells get fluffier and thicker. I added a good amount of cocoa powder to the macaron batter, which makes these macarons perfectly chocolatey. No doubt, the best chocolate macarons I’ve ever had!
[Ingredients For Chocolate Macarons]
For 24 – 28 macarons (48 to 56 macaron shells – 2-inch wide after baked * Pipe smaller as they spread more after piping.)
Macaron batter
• Egg white – 60 g (2 medium eggs)
• Almond flour – 150 g (1 1/2 cup)
• Powdered sugar – 120 g (1 cup)
• Cocoa powder – 24 g (4 Tbsps)
• Egg white – 60 g (2 medium eggs)
• Water – 45 g (3 Tbsps)
• Granulated sugar – 150 g (3/4 cup)
Meringue: Heat the syrup to 118ºC (244ºF).
Macaron shells: Bake (Preheated) at 300ºF (149ºC) for about 20 mins for 2-inch wide macaron shells.
Chocolate Ganache Filling

Hi Aya, so good to watch your video today. Yesterday I baked Snow Balls, similar but not macaroons. These are less demanding but my aim is to master your masterclass ……one question for you, do you use your egg whites straight from the fridge or room temperature.? Love to hear what you have to say. Maria 🌷🇬🇧🌷
thank you so muchhhh
This is what I needed, my daughter and I love them, but my ones coming out funny looking , wonky ( tasty though)
Thank you Aya very much !

Hi! Thank you bff or this video! When you said you waited 15’ to dry. It’s a RT? Or in a convection oven? I missed that part! Thank you!
Ty🙏
what piping tip are u using?
wha size are ur macarons? I guess I’ll have to use a macaron mat with guidelines
You have such excellent content. Thank you!
I have a big question about macaron, cause every time it occurs a problem, un depending of different procedure (every time I make something different) . Why sometimes my macaron shells break while cooking in the oven? Is it by a bad macaronnage, is it about an insufficient time of croutage, is it caused by a bad temperature of the oven or just why I let the oven's door closed while cooking them?
I have learned how to make macarons with your recipes. I was looking for your chocolate macaron recipe before, but I couldn't find one. So it is finally here. Thank you Aya❤
Do I have to use almond flour only or I can use any kind ? Thank you ☺️
❤❤❤A big thank you 😊
Wished I didn't have a blood sugar problem…..cravings are my hell on earth. Thanks anyway dear Aya.
SUPER SUCCESS.. I TRIED TO MAKE YOUR RECIPE, EVEN IF I WAS AFRAID ABOUT LAST FAILS. I WONDERED WHEN I SAW MY FIRST PERFECT MACARONS. AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR GANACHE… IS SOMETHING I CAN T SAY IN WORDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECIPE❤
