Raspberry macaroon

Chocolate and raspberry: they're many chefs' favourite flavour pairing. Especially when presented as a light and crisp variation on the theme, like this macaron filled with a lovely intense dark chocolate ganache. The most difficult part is getting the macaron base right. Ideally, you would want it to be crisp on the outside, and tender and moist on the inside, which might require a few trial runs. But trust us: even the trials are great fun.
