Οδηγίες Εκτέλεσης
- Pre-heat oven to 180

- Whisk the remaining 2 egg whites on medium to high speed to a stiff peak.
- Once the sugar and water mixture has boiled and become syrupy add this to the egg whites – add food colouring at this stage until you have desired colour.
- Whisk on a high speed for 1-2 minutes.
- Gently fold this into the paste mixture and put into a piping bag.
- Line 2 large trays with greaseproof paper and pipe small circles of the mixture – try to make similar in size.
- Bake in the oven for 10-13 minutes until cooked and remove and cool on a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate on a bain marie – meanwhile in a food processor whizz up the prunes and lemon juice to form a paste.
- Combine the prune paste with the melted chocolate – allow to cool slightly.
- Once the macaroons and the paste have cooled sandwich together 2 macaroons by piping the chocolate and prune ganache in the middle.
