Oh macarons, you make us feel so special. These shells of sweetness, sandwiched with something delicious have the ability to transport you to a quaint Parisian patisserie. A true delicacy and a very fun bake!

They are a little challenging, but have the most satisfying result. You can play around with the flavours, but here we are creating matcha macarons with a white chocolate ganache filling.

If you haven’t already, check out Cupcake Jemma on Youtube - such a baking game changer and we have learnt so much from Jemma and the team here at Cake & Yoga Club. They take all the credit for the method and tips behind these macarons - so I am going to hand over to their masterclass. Before I do, here is the recipe I used for matcha & white chocolate macarons:

White Chocolate Ganache

170g chopped white chocolate

60ml double cream (1/4 cup)

Combine chocolate and cream in a microwaveable bowl, zap for 30 seconds at a time and mix well with a wooden spoon until melted, combined and smooth. Cool for around 10 minutes, then using either a stand mixer or hand held - whisk until lighter in colour and fluffy!

Matcha Macarons

205g icing sugar

190g ground almonds

7 grams matcha powder

144g egg whites

190g caster sugar

60ml water

Preheat oven to 165C (fan assisted) and prepare baking trays with templates if you’d like!

Now to hand over to the experts - you’re going to love it…
