Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
180 gm. ground almonds
3 large egg white = 100 to 120 gm.
1/8 tsp. salt
50 gm. fine sugar
a drop of pink colouring
Filling:
100 gm. dark chocolate - melted
75 gm. dairy cream
1 Tbsp. Raspberry Jam

Method:
(1) Mix icing sugar and ground almonds together till well mixed.
(2) Whisk egg white till frothy and then add in fine sugar gradually and continue beating till thick.

aunty yochana - I came across your blog while browsing through som eother blogs. Your bakes are AAAAMAAAZINGGG!! I wonder which lucky people get to savour your cooking everyday :)
Hi Aunty Yochana
Instead of using a piping bag, can I use my hands to make a round flat ball instead? Because don't know what size to pipe.
Thanks
Sandra
Hi Sandra,
It's impossible to roll the macaroons with your hands. You can use a teaspoon to scoop onto the tray if you don't have a piping bag. Another way is to use small plastic bags, fill in the batter and tilt the bag to the corner, cut a small hole at the corner and pipe onto the tray.
Pipe to your desired size.

can i replace the eggs with something else?
Hi Aunty Yochana,
I tried both your recipes for raspberry choc french macaroons and the choc macaroons. I was very happy that the choc ones have feet even tho the batter looked rather thick when I piped it out. The raspberry ones however did not have feet and were very flat, is it becos I let them set outside for only 15 min? Thanks for posting the recipe anyway!

Hi Janice,
hahaha...didn't you see mine? Mine has no feet too. I think this recipe does not have feet...

Can we exchange the Raspberry jam to other kinds of jam ? Strawberry , perhaps?
