Chocolate Macarons

This is my first try at baking French Macarons. I found this recipe on the website. Even though they are not petite-looking like those colourful ones you see in the shops, I am quite happy with the overall taste and outcome. In fact, they are quite delicious :)

Here's the recipe if you are game to try:

1 cup (100gm) icing sugar
1/2 cup powdered almond
3 tbsp (25gm) cocoa powder

2 egg whites
5 tbsp (65gm) sugar

Preheat oven at 175 degrees C. Line baking tray with parchment paper.
Whisk the egg whites for a while. Add in the sugar and whisk till stiff.
Shift all the dry ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients into egg whites.
Pipe out the combined mixture onto the baking tray and bake for about 15-18 minutes,
Remove them from the oven to cool.

Chocolate Filling:
1/2 cup (125ml) heavy cream
2 tsp light corn syrup
120gm chocolate finely chopped
1 tbsp (15gm) butter

Slightly boil cream with corn syrup. Add chocolate and let it sit.
Stir till smooth and add in butter. Mix well.
Sandwich the chocolate filling between 2 pieces of macarons.
Chill and enjoy :)
