Butterfly Chocolate Macarons

  • Good to go
  • Healthy
  • Quick & easy (production)
  • Good for freezing
The butterfly symbolizes lightness; the 70% Dominican cacao brings intensity perfect harmony in a single macaron. I love the slight red tones and floral notes that come from the Callebaut Zestina Pleine Arome Cocoa Powder. The Callebaut Dominican Republic Origin Chocolate has some beautiful red fruit notes, a little acidity and some tropical fruit notes that I wanted to highlight with a ganache that is made soleylw ith water as the base.
