Mmm lets just take a moment to marvel at these macaroons. These tiny mouthfuls of joy are so popular in France kind of like the cupcake craze that was in the UK. They are popular after dinner to go with a cup of coffee, as an afternoon sugar rush pick-me-up or even more luxourious with a cold glass of bubbly. You can find them in so many colours from neutral rose to garish neon green and flavours ranging from espresso to bubblegum. I was also told that you can get savoury macaroons filled with foie gras but I’m yet to find one of these. Challenge accepted.
They should be slightly crisp on the outside and have a soft chewy texture inside as well as a middle layer of goeyness. They can be topped with chocolate, coconut, or other edible sweet treats. The only problem is to decide which colour and flavour you want!
