Milk Chocolate and Coffee Macarons
I haven’t made macarons in a few weeks and I wasn’t planning on making them until a friend of mine requested them as a present for someone else. They are a classic flavor combination of a coffee macaron shell and a milk chocolate ganache filling. Simple, easy yet always make an impression. She was happy and that’s all that matters.
What else can I say about this recipe that I haven’t said before… It’s the same recipe I always use but this time I added a bit of coffee extract to the meringue.
The milk chocolate ganache was made without a scale. I took two parts of milk chocolate and one part heavy cream. I like to work with ratios because it makes my life really simple. It is true that ganaches are delicate and must be perfectly balanced but sometimes, I just use quick ratios, like one part dark chocolate one part heavy cream, two parts white chocolate and one part heavy cream. Easy and quick.
So I leave you without a recipe today. Just follow the guidelines for my previous macarons recipes and the quick ganache that I mentioned above.
And why the short post you might ask? Well, we are going camping this weekend! I will see you next week and I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
Aw hun those look fantastic. I love the box! Chocolate and coffee are one of my all-time favorite combinations.
I looove milk chocolate ganache. Still have a tub of it in my fridge from when I made cupcakes recently. Might have to sandwich them between some macarons!
Hope you have a great weekend camping! :)
Mmmm ….!, savoury combination!
I’m so in love with your blog. I’ve been reading it for a while and just realized I’ve never left a comment.
You make me want to be a chef. :)

Your macarons have such perfect feet, and I love the flavour combination. Sometimes the simplest flavours are the best!
Como siempre perfectos.

These look delicious! Have fun on your camping trip!
These are just beautiful! I hope to be ambitious enough to make macarons one day. I would be heartbroken if they weren’t pretty like these.
Aran, they are gorgeous as always!
Have a wonderful camping!
My husband wants to go camping too…it does sound like a lot of fun! Gorgeous macaroons by the way!
Every night/day we chat I wish we lived next door..or close…I would keep an eye on J. while you make me some treats and coffee:)
I will research the petit suisse recipe this weekend so we can get going and make some ourselves!
Have fun camping!
P.S: the macs are my favorite combo.
I like the idea of making macarons with milk chocolate. They look beautiful!
“I have not made macarons in a few weeks!” I have never made macarons! Still to chicken – yes they do call me a daring baker. But I guess I need some more motivation. In the meantime I will drool all over yours.
I am going to get around to making macarons – I swear, especially when I keep seeing fabulously delicious things like this!
I just discovered your blog on DMBLGIT June – it is simply stunning.
Aran, gorgeous macarons you made there! I really loved the photos as well!
Those look unbelievable.
^______^ i love macarons! coffee and chocolate is a wonderful combination.
I love the shot of it standing on it’s side.
Gorgeous!
Love the combination, could eat a batch right now ;)
Happy camping!
More macarons! The frenzy continues!
Love the way you packaged them – that ribbon and flour are simple yet elegant.
Love the flavor combination!! I love Milk Chocolate–I don’t care what anyone says about 70% this or that. I will secretly still be eating my Milk Tray!! Beautifully packaged as I’ve come to expect of you! :-)
Aran-
They look fabulous, and I want to know are you bringing a batch camping? Wonderful photos.
I just keep coming back to your macarons – I have never seen anything like it. You are so talented:))
Those look amazing! I am imagining how the house would smell while those are baking.
