Macarons Preparation
- Prepare egg whites by letting them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Whip egg whites on medium speed until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and cream of tartar, beating on high until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together in a separate bowl to eliminate lumps.
- Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the meringue gently using a spatula until the batter flows like thick lava.
- Pipe small circles of batter onto lined baking sheets, leaving space between each.
- Let the piped macarons rest for 30 to 60 minutes until a skin forms.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes until the tops are firm.
- Cool macarons completely on baking sheets for 10-15 minutes.
Ganache Preparation
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over dark chocolate and butter in a bowl, stirring until smooth.
Macaron Assembly
- Spread raspberry jam on half of the macaron shells, pipe dark chocolate ganache on top, and sandwich with remaining shells.

Notes
Ensure all equipment is clean and grease-free for best results. Let macarons age in the fridge for improved texture and flavor.
