Macaron Shell
140g ground almonds
200g fine maple sugar
90ml egg white
30g maple sugar
Banana and avocado ganache
200ml double cream
1 ripe banana
1 ripe avocado
300g white chocolate
2 tbsp amber maple syrup
Method
Macaron Shell
Combine ground almonds and fine maple sugar, sifting into a large bowl.
Pour the egg whites into the clean bowl of a stand mixer.
Whip the egg white at high speed until at a soft peak, reduce the speed, then add the maple sugar gradually.
Next, add the whipped meringue into the almond and fine maple sugar mix in two additions and keep folding until the mixture falls off the whisk like lava, forming a thick ribbon.
Pipe the macarons onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet by pressing out 1.5-inch circles about 1 inch apart.
Place the baking sheet into a preheated 155°C oven (convection) and bake for 7 minutes, then 145°C for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing macarons from the parchment paper.
Banana and avocado ganache
Blend the banana, avocado and double cream until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a pan then bring to a boil.
Add the hot mixture slowly into the white chocolate then combine all ingredients.
Use a piping bag with a small nozzle to fill the macaron shells.
