Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a bowl. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the granulated sugar until you have a glossy, stable meringue.
2
Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue, ensuring the batter is homogenous and smooth. Be careful not to overmix, or the macarons won't rise properly.
3
Using a piping bag, pipe even circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rest for 30 minutes to allow a skin to form on the surface.
4
Bake the macarons in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 12-15 minutes, until they are slightly crisp on the outside and still soft on the inside.
5
For the filling, heat the heavy cream and pour it over the finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until completely melted, then add the butter and let it cool.
6
Add the blackberry liqueur to the cooling chocolate cream to create a pleasant fruity, liqueur flavor.
7
Once the chocolate cream has thickened, use a spoon or piping bag to fill one half of the macarons with the cream, and top with another macaron shell to form a sandwich.
8
Place the finished macarons on a platter and let them rest in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
