VEGAN MACARON
- 1. Sift almond flour and vegan icing sugar together twice. Set aside.
- 2. Boil sugar and water without stirring to 115°C.
- 3. Whip Vegan Egg White to medium peak.
- 4. Stream syrup into Vegan Egg White, whip to stiff, glossy peaks, and body temperature. Fold meringue into dry mix, add color now if required. Macaronage until magma-like flow.
- 5. Pipe 3.5cm rounds, evenly spaced, on lined trays. Remove bubbles by gently tapping the tray onto a flat surface.
- 6. Rest shells until tack-free, 30-60 min.
- 7. Bake at 270°F, double tray, for 12-15 min. Cool completely.
- 8. Pair shells, fill, and mature 24h for best texture.
- 9. Serve at ambient temp for optimal flavor profile.
VEGAN EGGNOG GANACHE
- 1. Chop the vegan white chocolate finely and place it into a heatproof bowl.
- 2. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
- 3. Combine the vegan eggnog, vegan creamer, inverted sugar, vanilla seeds, and the pod in a saucepan. Heat gently until just simmering, then remove the vanilla bean pod.
- 4. Pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for a moment to melt the chocolate.
- 5. Stir gently with a rubber spatula starting from the center in small circles, gradually widening to incorporate the liquid without incorporating too much air.
- 6. Add the Fusion Rum and a pinch of salt. Blend well to ensure complete emulsification. Use an immersion blender for a smooth ganache.
- 7. Refrigerate until the ganache crystallizes.
- 8. Pipe the ganache on the macaron cookies, let mature and serve.
