Turkish Delight Macaron Filled With Rose Ganache and Real Chocolate Covered Turkish Delight
โA macaron (/หmรฆkษหrษn/ mak-ษ-RON) is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond meal, and food colouring.
The macaron is traditionally held to have been introduced in France by the Italian chef of queen Catherine de Medici during the Renaissance. Since the 19th century, a typical Parisian-style macaron is presented with a ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two such cookies, akin to a sandwich cookie. The confection is characterized by a smooth squared top, a ruffled circumferenceโreferred to as the โcrownโ or โfootโ (or โpiedโ)โand a flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth. Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavours that range from traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to unusual (foie gras, matcha).โ
