Recipe: Cookies & Cream Macarons (Italian Method)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here's the highly requested MACARON video! I made 684 macarons for our wedding on May 9, 2015! (They freeze well!) Here's how I did it. I know its a LOT of equipment & steps but this is a notoriously difficult and finicky dessert. I learned within 6 months but it took MANY failed batches, pricey equipment (mixer) & trial and error. I'm no expert, and many other people have their own tweaks/tricks according to their climate/oven. This is just how I make them.
Q&A:
Q: Do I NEED a stand mixer?
A: Yes, for the Italian method, I recommend that you use one. Try out the French method (can use a regular hand mixer)... personally I did not have luck with the French method.
Q: What's the difference between the Italian method and French method?
A: The Italian method creates a merengue with a sugar syrup, the French method does not.
Q: Why are you not giving measurements in cups?!
A: Accurate amounts are key in macaron making. To get accurate measurements of ingredients, macaron recipes normally have ingredients by weight (grams), not volume. This is why macaron recipes are not given in cups.

Janelle Estep Do you know the recipe for a macron without using almond powder?
I bow down to you and your amazing macarons ;) The first time I made macarons, they turned into a fortune cookie... haha
I'm the total opposite! I can do the French method but never succeeded in the Italian method. Will have to try this out though! Looks amazing!!
I've NEVER seen how macaroons were made until now. Thanks for showing us and congratulations!
awesome please make more baking videos! :3
Thanks a million!!!! I tried French method but it never worked out and today I finally succeeded following your Italian method.
I have tried for about 10 times and only 4 times been a good one. Watched your video couple of times and really encouraging after so many fail. Would give this a try this week. Thanks for sharing this, it's so amazing in your young age had so much patient to make 700 macarons. Love your simplicity of nail art too. Salute!!
One of the best baking demos I've sen yet. Brilliantly done Janelle.
i keep watching this. I have all the ingredients, now I just have take a deep breath and give it my first shot.

Did it work out?

***** I tried three times. My husband thought the third time worked out but I felt they weren't just right. I also only had a tiny food processor which made mixing the flour tedious. I need to separate the egg yolks and whites right after I take them out of the fridge to bring the whites to room temp. I had issues separating the room temp eggs. The yolk kept breaking because it might have been too warm of room temp. I have a bigger food processor now, so I just need to pick a day and plan ahead and try again.
Thank you for mentioning the purpose of letting them air dry. I've been inspired by your video when you first published it and have been watching other macaron vids like crazy, lol. Everyone dries them but no one explained that it's to get the feet as the air releases them. LOVE YOUR VID!!
684 macarons takes some dedication! Love you Jenelle!
Such a fabulous tutorial, thank you. I'm sure we would all enjoy more of these videos! Thank you!
I just made this today and it's my second try! They came out perfect 😍
I am so happy that you finally posted the video! I saw photos of your macarons on Facebook, and always thought how amazing they turn out to you!
I've been using the French method and never got a perfect macaron. I think I'm gonna try this method out! I need the oven & candy thermometers first though. Lol

elleandish // Janelle Woah, I didn't even know about the Italian method. It was always a gamble whether or not my macarons turned out hollow. That must be why!

I've always done macarons using the French method because I don't have a candy thermometer and have mastered it, but watching your video makes me want to go and order one to try it out. Love it!
It's amazing that you made 684 for your wedding!
They look so perfect!
