Cherry macaroons
Ingredients
o Red colourant, powder
o 40cl water
o 100g caster sugar
o 100g ground almonds
o 100g icing sugar
o 80g egg white
Preparation
o The day before, have the egg white out of the freezer and leave at room temperature until it's ready to prepare the dough.
o Mix very finely, set the ground almonds and icing sugar, then sieve and set aside.
o The next day, in a pan, put 100g caster sugar and add 40g of water.
o Bring to 110 ° (or count 3 minutes when it's boiling)
o At the same time, whip 40g egg-whites to a light mousse. If whites are ready before the syrup slow the robot.
o Really slowly pour in net, the boiling syrup down the sides of the bowl. You have then an italian meringue.
o Let the robot until meringue is warm, about 40 °C.
o Meanwhile, combine the remaining 40g of egg whites with the sifted powders and colourant using a spatula.
o Then, incorporate the Italian meringue and work upwards from the middle. You must have a smooth, shiny dough liquid enough but not too much anyway.
o Preheat oven to 150 °C with two baking plates without edges placed on the grid one on the other. Spread on a table 3 perforated plates or not covered with parchment paper.
o Fill the bag with a plain tip 8mm in diameter and prepare small heaps alternate, rather spaced on the plates.
o Bake for 15 minutes.
o When you take it out of the oven, slide the parchment paper on your work surface, then take off the shells once cooled.
o Refrigerate. Make a compote with the pitted cherries, sugar and setting agent for 15 minutes on low heat.
o Mix, but not completely, it must remain small pieces of cherries.
When the frozen cherry is very cold, glue the shells 2 by 2.
