Once I tried the White Chocolate and Jasmine Green Tea Macaron at La Renaissance Cafe, I was in lurvvvvve~!
I had to give this a shot myself.
Unfortunately, macarons have always been difficult for me. This Just didn't want to work. Three batches of macaron. None of them successful.
However, I feel that 160°C for 18mins might be the optimal temperature for my oven.
The recipe said let it sit for 1 hour, i think it might have been too long and the recipe was also rather dense. I will try a different recipe next time, without as much sugar and almond.
The White Chocolate Ganache filling recipe:
200g White Chocolate, chopped.
150ml Cream (35% fat, not that it makes much difference in this case, but it just so happen to be the cream i had.)
2 teabags of Jasmine Green Tea
- Heat the cream in a small pot. Once it starts to simmer, drop in the tea bags and let them brew. Using a teaspoon to press the bags every so often until you are satisfied with the strength of the tea.
- In the meantime, melt the white chocolate in a large heatproof bowl sitting about a pot of simmering water, make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove from the heat once all the chocolate is melted.
- Pour the cream into the white chocolate and whisk to mix.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed (I should thicken up by then)
- Once cooled, whip it up and spoon it into a piping bag , I don't use any piping nozzle, just cut the tip off and pipe onto one macaron and sandwich with another.
