Ispahan macaron instructions

1. Let's make the macaron shell first. Sieve almond powder and icing sugar, mix them together in mixing bowl..
2. Beat the egg white gently, then add in white sugar. Meanwhile, add in food colouring. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white until peaks are formed..
3. When the egg white is ready, fold in almond sugar mixture using a spatula. Fold until the mixture is smooth. To check the consistency of the batter, leave up the spatula from the batter and it should fall off like ribbon..
4. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag, pipe the mixture into 6 7.5cm diameter circles on a non-stick baking paper. Tap the baking tray twice to remove air bubbles of the batter. Now wait at least 30min in room temperature to let the mixture dry out. Preheat the oven to 190C..
5. When the mixture is complete dried, (you can test by gently touching the surface of the macaron. The mixture should not stick on your hand once it's ready.) you can now put in the oven for 13-15 min..
6. When the macarons are done, cool them on the rack with the baking paper until they are completely cooled. Remove them carefully and set aside..
7. Now, let's work on the Ganache. Melt the Chocolate with butter, mix well. After that, slowly add in whipping cream and mix well. Then add in rose water to taste..
8. Transfer the ganache into a pastry bag, pipe the ganache at the centre of a macaron shell only, then put 6-7 raspberries surrounding the macaron and 1 at the centre of the macaron..
9. Cover the centre of the macaron with generous amount of Ganache and cover it with another macaron. Do the same for rest of the macaron..
10. Top with small amount of Ganache, 1 raspberry and icing sugar to finish..
