The other day I had lots of fun. I mean LOTS. I received a beautiful Makearon package from Francois Payard. How lucky can a girl be…sooooo lucky!
We had just finished a day on the slopes & were craving a treat. Voila! Macarons it was…
Makearons are the best invention ever! All of the hard work (preparing labor intensive macaron shells) has been done perfectly for you.
These macaron shells are shipped elegantly in packing to ensure their texture stays in tact. Genius!
Since easy was the theme & I had to feed a hungry aprés ski crew….I piped some whipped cream inside the shells.
As always I had a huge batch of Homemade Whipped Cream in the fridge. Clearly not a traditional filling ~ but when do I ever follow the rules?!
Traditional macaron filling is a ganache. You can find great recipes for fillings & shells here.
Our après ski was memorable indeed! Hopefully you can try these soon too & please enter my amazing giveaway below.
This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for your entries & stay tuned for more fun promotions soon!
