<p><span id="more-1144"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Some months ago I noticed in the blog <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com" target="_blank">cuoche dell&#8217;altro mondo </a>(just go give a look even if you don&#8217;t understand Italian the pictures are just great and the 2 bloggers really really creatives) the <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com/2008/01/polvere-darancia.html" target="_blank">orange powder</a>, which are orange peels dried and mix to powder. It seems quite interesting although I did not know what I could do with that. A little bit later I just got a big crush on the <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html" target="_blank">powdered strawberry and vanilla bean macarons </a> from <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Tartelette</a>. Yes powdered strawberry&#8230; she gave me the idea to use the orange powder for baking the macarons.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what I did 2 days ago and the result is just great. For me who love the mix between orange and chocolate it convinced me. Macarons were even tastier the day after as the orange flavor spread meanwhile. I am not giving a full complete recipe for this time, simply because I did those <a href="http://www.lauresophie.com/?p=549" target="_blank">macarons</a> adding one teaspoon of orange powdered in the TPT for the shells and 3 tablespoons of cristallized orange cubes in the chocolate ganache.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Il y a quelques mois je découvris sur le site de <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com" target="_blank">cuoche dell&#8217;altro mondo </a>(que je vous conseille meme si vous ne comprenez pas l&#8217;Italien, en dehors d&#8217;une belle créativité culinaire de la part des 2 bloggueuses, les photos sont très belles) de la <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com/2008/01/polvere-darancia.html" target="_blank">poudre d&#8217;orange</a>, en fait des zestes d&#8217;oranges séchés et réduits en poudre. Je trouvais l&#8217;idée intéressante mais je n&#8217;en voyais pas encore l&#8217;utilité. Heureusement le web regorge d&#8217;excellents blogs comme celui aussi de <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Tartelette</a> où je pu me régaler devant ses très beaux <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html" target="_blank">macarons au chocolat, vanille et poudre de fraises</a>. Voilà c&#8217;était dit la poudre de fraises, le meme concept que la poudre d&#8217;orange. Des fraises je n&#8217;en avais pas mais bien des oranges. L&#8217;idée m&#8217;avait été insufflée et je fis mes macarons.</p>
<p>Je ne vous donne pas la recette et la réalisation des macarons car tout est <a href="http://www.lauresophie.com/?p=549" target="_blank">là</a>. Il suffit juste de rajouter une cuillère à café (bombée) de poudre d&#8217;orange au tant pour tant et 3 cuillères à soupe de cubes d&#8217;oranges confites dansla ganache, et le tour est joué. Les macarons se sont révélés encore meilleurs le lendemain puisque le gout orange a pu se développer autant dans les coques que la ganache. Moi qui suis une friande du mélange chocolat orange j&#8217;ai été comblée.  Pour le coup cette petite poudre d&#8217;orange ne fut pas celle de perlimpinpin.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Allora mi lancio, scrivere le ricette è una cosa ma descrivere il perché del come è un&#8217;altra. Scusatemi se ci sono dei errori perché A. (con chi parlo inglese!! He si!) che di solito fa le correzione non sta qua (o forse lui chiedero più tardi). Ecco: un paio di mesi fa avevo visto sul blog <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com" target="_blank">cuoche dell&#8217;altro mondo </a>(che è inutile di presentare agli italiani) la <a href="http://cuochedellaltromondo.blogspot.com/2008/01/polvere-darancia.html" target="_blank">polvere d&#8217;arancia</a>. Mi sembrava un ottima idea però non sapevo che farne finche abbia visto la ricetta di <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com">Tartelette</a> (che vi consiglio assolutamente!!!) i <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html">macaron con vaniglia e polvere di fragole</a>! Me aveva datto l&#8217;idea. La polvere di fragole non l&#8217;avevo ma bensi quella d&#8217;arancia.</p>
<p>Allora non vi do la ricetta e la manera di fare i macaron perche tutto è <a href="http://www.lauresophie.com/?p=549" target="_blank">là</a>. Soltanto ho aggiunto un cucchiaino di polvere d&#8217;arancia insieme allo zucchero a velo, il cacao e la farina di mandorle (prima tappa per fare i macaron) e tre cucchiai di cubi d&#8217;arancie candide nella ganache. Il risultato era perfetto (per me a chi piacce il misto cioccolato e arancia) anche di più l&#8217;indomani perchè l&#8217;odore d&#8217;arancia si è propagata nel macaron e la ganache.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1213" title="adr_7085_published1" src="http://www.lauresophie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/adr_7085_published11.jpg" alt="adr_7085_published1" width="800" height="1202" />Macarons and its callipygian forms are worldwide famous. Two little almonds meringue shells crusty from the outisde soft in the inside and brought together with a melting ganache&#8230;.delicious&#8230;</p>
<p>As I might have already mentioned I love to bake, and macarons <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">almost</span> became an obsession for me. It took me about two months to get the perfect shells (I directly did them with the meringue italienne (that means you do a syrup with your sugar, so you boil it before pouring it on the beaten eggwhites).</p>
<p><span id="more-549"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-954" title="description" src="http://www.lauresophie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/description.jpg" alt="description" width="800" height="608" /></p>
<p>Here some little preliminary tips <span style="text-decoration: underline;">for the macarons with cacao shells</span>!!!:</p>
<ul>
<li>dry the almonds powder (put it outside one or two days before or in the oven)</li>
<li>take out the eggwhites from the fridge couple of hours before. The best thing is all the material at the same temperature</li>
<li>Use old eggwhites (even one week old is fine!) for the hypochondriac, OCD, detergent addictive&#8230; and any other syndrom like that<span style="color: #ff00ff;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>IT IS FIIIIIIIIIIINEE!!!!!!!!!!</strong>,</span></span> everything is cooked twice if you do the meringue italienne: first because you pour boiling sugar (between 110 to 120°C) on the eggwhites and then in the oven for 10 minutes at 150°C!! Of course don&#8217;t go leak the spoon in between.</li>
</ul>
<p>Preparation of the  macarons shells (adapted from &laquo;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.christophe-felder.com/livres/index.php" target="_blank">les macarons de Christophe</a>&nbsp;&raquo; leçon de patisserie n°6 <a href="http://www.christophe-felder.com/index.php" target="_blank">Christophe Felder</a>) :</p>
<blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">English table:</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><em><strong>Ingredients for the macarons shells (around 30-40 macarons):</strong></em></span></p>
<ul>
<li>185 g dried almonds powder</li>
<li>185 g confectioners&#8217; sugar (or ice sugar)</li>
<li>200 g sugar in powder</li>
<li>30 g cacao in powder (without sugar!)</li>
<li>2 * 75 g eggwhites</li>
<li>50 ml water</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Put the almonds, confectioners&#8217; sugar and cacao together in the blender and mix. This &laquo;&nbsp;pasta&nbsp;&raquo; is called the <span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>tant pour tant</strong></span> (TPT) because there is as much as sugar as alomds powder. Reserve in a bowl.</li>
<li>In a pot pour 160 g of sugar in powder, add the water but do not mix. Bring to temperature 115°C.</li>
<li>Meanwhile beat the eggwhites (75 g) with the remained sugar until stiff (the mix should be consistant but not too much, just avoid the beaten eggwhites form a beak)</li>
<li>Still beating the eggwhite, pour the boiling sugar. Mix until the temperature reach down 40°C (or no temperature sensation on your finger). This all process (2 to 4) is the so called <span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>meringue italienne</strong></span>.</li>
<li>At that moment add the remained eggwhites (the one not beaten) to the TPT. Mix gently. Add a third of the meringue to make it more supple. Mix gently and add the rest of the meringue. Mix softly. The final TPT should be quite soft but not liquid (literally it has do a ribbon)!! <span style="color: #339966;"><strong><em><span style="color: #808080;">a tip from </span></em><a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html"><em><span style="color: #808080;">tartelette </span></em></a><em><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #808080;">: Test a small amount of pasta on a plate: if the tops flattens on its own you are good to go. If there is a small beak, give the batter a couple of turns</span>.</span></em></strong></span></li>
<li>Fill a pastry bag with a piping nozzle of size 6 or 8 (diameter in mm). Pip small rounds onto parchment paper. Space the shells (coques) by 2 cm at least (as seen in the following picture). Let them sit out at least 15-20 mns</li>
<li>Meanwhile warm up the oven at 150°C.</li>
<li>After 15-20 mns, put the macarons in the oven for 12-15 mns, depending of the size (1 parchement paper at a time or the shells break). Let cool before removing.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><em><strong>Chocolate ganache</strong></em></span></p>
<ul>
<li>250 g of black chocolate</li>
<li>40 g of salted butter</li>
<li>200 ml of fresh liquid cream</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Melt the chocolate in a bain marie</li>
<li>Boil the cream and incorporate it to the chocolate</li>
<li>Incorporate the butter to the previous mix</li>
<li>Fill a pastry bag with the ganache</li>
<li>When it is cold and consistant pipe the ganache on the center of the shell and top with another one (<em>if you don&#8217;t put enough ganache the shells will dry!</em>)</li>
<li>Keep the macarons in the fridge for a couple of hours</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Recommandation: do a preliminary test by putting only 5-6 shells in the oven. If you have trouble removing the shells after the cooking then let themc ook a little more. If they are cracked decrease the oven&#8217;s temperature.</span> </span></p>
<p>Also if you want to avoid to do the macaron shells with the meringue italienne, more difficult, go see the blog of <a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html">tartelette</a>, she explains pretty well how to do macarons shells with simple meringue.</p></blockquote>

<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A la table française</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><em><strong>ingrédients pour les macarons au cacao (30 à 40 macarons)</strong></em></span></p>
<ul>
<li>185 g de poudre d&#8217;amandes sèche</li>
<li>185 g de sucre glace</li>
<li>30 g de cacao amer</li>
<li>200 g de sucre en poudre</li>
<li>2*75 g de blancs d&#8217;oeufs</li>
<li>50 ml d&#8217;eau</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Préparer le tant pour tant (TPT): dans le bol d&#8217;un mixeur verser le sucre glace, la poudre d&#8217;amandes et le cacao. Mixer à vitesse maximale. Réserver</li>
<li>Dans une casserole verser 160g de sucre et 50 ml d&#8217;eau. Ne pas mélanger! Porter à 115°C (de grosses bulles de sucre se forment unifornement dans la casserole)</li>
<li>Pendant ce temps, battre 75 g de blancs d&#8217;oeufs en neige en incorporant en 3 fois les 40 g de sucre restant. Ne pas battre les oeufs jusqu&#8217;au stade bec d&#8217;oiseau (ils sont alors trop fermes)</li>
<li>Ajouter alors le sucre cuit sur les blancs montés tout en continuant de battre. Battre jusqu&#8217;à ce que le mélange refroidisse (vers 40°C soit aucune sensation de température sur le doigt)</li>
<li>Incorporer les 75 g de blancs restant au TPT. Puis incorporer 1/3 de la meringue au TPT pourla détendre. Incorporer le reste et mélanger doucement (du milieu vers les bords) jusqu&#8217;à ce que le mélange fasse ruban (*).</li>
<li>Remplisser une poche munie d&#8217;une douille de 8 mm de ce mélange</li>
<li>Déposer des disques de pate espacés de 2 à 3cm sur du papier sulfurisé</li>
<li>Préchauffer votre four à 150°C et laisser crouter (sécher) les coques pendant 15-20 mns minimum</li>
<li>Enfourner une plaque à la fois pendant 12-15 mns</li>
<li>Laisser sécher avant de les décoller</li>
</ol>
<p>(*) Un conseil de chez tartelette déposer un petit peu de pate sur une assiette, si elle forme un bec c&#8217;est qu&#8217;elle n&#8217;est pas assez macaroner, donc redonner quelques coups de spatule à celle çi</p>
<p>Pour ne pas perdre une plaque de coques lors de la cuisson faire un test préliminaire en cuisant seulement 5-6 coques. Si elles craquent baisser la température du four.Si elles ne se décollent pas prolonger la cuisson.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><em><strong>Ganache au chocolat</strong></em></span></p>
<ul>
<li>250 g de chocolat noir</li>
<li>200 ml de crème fraiche liquide</li>
<li>40 g de beurre demi sel</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Fondre le chocolat au bain marie</li>
<li>Porter la crème à ébullition et l&#8217;incorporer au chocolat</li>
<li>Incorporer le beurre au précédent mélange</li>
<li>Verser dans une poche à douille (douille de 6) et laisser refroidir</li>
<li>Remplir les coques de ganache quand elle est devenue consistante (déposer au centre des coques de la ganache) et recouvrir d&#8217;une autre coque (Il est important que la ganache arrive aux bords des coques sinon le macaron sèche)</li>
