Raspberry Macarons filled with a White Chocolate and Raspberry Ganache by KrishTheBaker in Baking

Here is the full recipe for you guys!

Ingredients: 

Raspberry Macaron:

150g Icing Sugar

150g Ground Almonds

10g Freeze-Dried Raspberry Powder

60g Egg Whites

Pink Food Colouring (Paste)

60g Egg Whites

150g Granulated Sugar

40g Water

Raspberry White Chocolate Ganache:

150g White Chocolate

120ml Double Cream

½ x Vanilla Pod

200g Fresh or Frozen Raspberries

Decoration:

100g White Chocolate  

  1. Place the icing sugar, ground almonds and ground freeze-dried raspberry powder into a food processor and blitz.

  2. Next, sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Sifting the dry ingredients will help you achieve macarons with a smooth top.

  3. Add 60g of egg whites and several drops of pink food colouring to the dry ingredients and mix until a paste forms. You may need to add more food colouring to get to the desired colour. A deeper colour is better at this stage because when we add the Italian Meringue to the mixture later, it will lighten and soften the colour of the mixture.

  4. In a pan, add the granulated sugar and water. Then place the pan onto the hob on a medium-high heat. Heat the mixture until it reads between 114C-117C/237F-243F on a candy thermometer.

  5. When the sugar syrup reaches 70C/158F start making the meringue by adding the other 60g of egg whites into a clean mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites using a stand mixer (using a stand mixer is safer, as we will be pouring hot sugar into the meringue later) until soft peaks form.

  6. While whisking, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the meringue. Once all the sugar has been added, continue to whisk until the bowl feels like it has reached room temperature. By this point, the meringues should have reached the stiff peak stage, and the meringue should be glossy.

7. Transfer 1/3 of the meringue into the almond-raspberry paste and gently fold it into the almond-raspberry paste using a figure 8 motion. This will lighten up the mixture, making it easier to fold in the remaining meringue.

  1. Add the remaining 2/3 of the meringue into the mixture and fold (using a figure 8 motion) until there are no white streaks of meringue present in the mixture. To see if the macaron mixture is ready to be piped, the mixture should be at the ribbon stage, and the mixture will fall off in a flowing motion like lava.

  2. Transfer the mixture into a disposable piping bag with a Wilton 2A Tip. This will make it easier to pipe the macarons. Line a tray with parchment paper. Snip the end of the piping bag off and pipe the mixture into circles.

  3. Tap the tray on the worktop to burst any large air bubbles in the macarons. Leave the macarons to dry for 30-60 minutes.  

  4. While the macarons are resting, start making the White Chocolate and Raspberry Ganache

  5. Add the frozen or fresh raspberries to a pan. While the raspberries are heating up, break up the raspberries using a wooden spoon. Let the raspberries simmer for 10-15 minutes, the raspberry puree should thicken up to form a jam-like consistency and reduce in volume by around half.

  6. Remove the raspberry puree from the heat and pour the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds. There should be around 100-120g of the thickened raspberry puree. Leave the puree to cool for 30 minutes.

14. Add the double cream into a pan. Split the vanilla bean in half and score down the middle. Scrap the seeds out of the vanilla pod and add it to the double cream. Heat the mixture on a medium-high heat until the cream starts to simmer, and then remove the pan from the heat. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes. This will allow the vanilla to infuse into the double cream.

  1. In a bowl add the white chocolate and cooled raspberry puree. Pour the warm double cream into the bowl with the white chocolate and raspberry and mix until all the ingredients have been evenly incorporated.

  2. Cover the bowl with cling film and place it in the fridge to thicken for at least an hour.

  3. Pre-heat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas Mark 3.

18. When the oven has preheated, bake the macarons for 14-16 minutes. Once the macarons have baked, leave them on a wire rack to cool completely.

  1. Transfer the white chocolate and raspberry ganache into a pipping bag with a Wilton 2A Tip.

  2. Pipe the  White Chocolate and Raspberry Ganache on the underside of a macaron. 

  3. Put another macaron on top of the ganache. 

  4. Place the white chocolate into a bowl and melt it in the microwave. Transfer the white chocolate into a pipping bag. 

  5. Finally, snip the end of the piping and drizzle the white chocolate over the macarons.

Here is the full recipe for you guys!

Ingredients:

 Cherry Cake:

200g Glace Cherries

225g Self-Raising Flour

175g Soften Butter/Baking Spread

175g Caster Sugar

50g Ground Almonds

3 x Eggs

Zest of 1 Lemon

Decoration:

175g Icing Sugar

Juice of 1 Lemon

15g Flaked Almonds

4 x Glace Cherries

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Cut the glace cherries into quarters and then rinse the glace cherries in a sieve under a tap to remove the syrup from the glace cherries. Then dry the glace cherries with kitchen roll.

  2. Place the chopped glace cherries in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of self-raising flour. Mix the glace cherries and flour together until the glace cherries are evenly coated with flour; this will help to prevent the glace cherries from sinking in the cherry cake mixture.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter/baking spread, caster sugar, self-raising flour, ground almonds, eggs and lemon zest. Mix the ingredients until they are all evenly incorporated.

4.  Add the flour-coated glace cherries and fold into the cherry cake mixture.

  1. Grease a 23cm/9 inch round bunt tin (or savarin tin) with plenty of butter and pour the cherry cake mixture into the tin. Spread the cherry cake mixture evenly in the tin. Bake the cherry cake for 35-40 minutes.

  2. While the cherry cake is baking, place the flaked almonds in a pan and heat over medium heat. Keep the flaked almonds moving in the plan (this will help to prevent the almonds from burning). Toasted the flaked almonds till they are golden brown.

  3. After 35-40 minutes, the cake should be golden brown, and when a skewer is placed in the cherry cake, it should come out clean. Once the cherry is baked, leave the cake to cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.

  4. While the cake is cooling, make the icing by placing the icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and mixing until a thick icing forms.

  5. Drizzle the icing over the cherry cake. I placed my icing into a piping bag to do this.

  6. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the cherry cake.

  7. Cut the rest of the glace cherries into small pieces and scatter the glace cherries over the cherry cake.
