VEGAN EGG WHITE

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.
