Today I will show you how to make delicious French chocolate macarons. The first step is to make the almond flour dough. Pass the almond flour, icing sugar and cocoa through a strainer 2 times. The ingredients that remain in the strainer will not be used. Then add the food coloring and the egg whites and mix well all the ingredients. After that, cover the bowl with the mix with a food film and set it apart for later use.
The next step is to make the italian meringue. First, put the water and sugar in a saucepan. Then bring the water and the syrup to 244°F. Begin to beat the egg whites with a hand mixer when the syrup has reached 230°F. When the syrup is ready, slowly, but continuously, pour it into the egg whites while continuing beating. Beat the preparation until it is cold and has reached a temperature of 104°F.
Next, add the Italian meringue to the almond-sugar-cocoa-egg whites mix. First one part and mix. Then the second part: carefully fold in the meringue until you can write with the mix on the surface. The next step is to put the mix in a piping bag and pipe the macarons on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. After this, tap the baking sheet several times on the kitchen counter.

Finally, bake the macaron halves at 300°F for 10-14 minutes. After the baking, let them cool down.
