Macarons
Macarons are the perfect gift for a happy occasion or just as a special treat.
Colorful, pillowy, and delicately flavored, macarons are perhaps one of
the most famous and treasured French desserts. This meringue-based sweet
comes in many tastes and colors, from classic salted caramel to lavender
and honey to the wildly fanciful fig and foie gras.
The word macaron comes from the Italian word
Maccherone which means fine dough. These
delicate cookie like confections are made with almond flour,
confectioner's sugar and egg whites. Our special technique makes them
delicately crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside.
