These look delicious. I have a question. I am just a home baker but this has me stumped. How do you keep them from getting hollow?

Hi Landa. I’m a home baker too. I get them occasionally too and I’m not sure why, although I suspect that it may be due to the ratio of dry to wet ingredients. If there is too much wet ingredients (like lemon juice or rose syrup), it tends to have this problem. I have never encountered this problem with cocoa macaron shells which includes cocoa powder (more dry ingredients).

Thanks. Now that I think about it. I have never had a chocolate macaroon be hollow.

Thanks, Helen! I’m love the photographs of the Raspberry Rhubard Mille Feuilles on your blog. They’re beautiful. I’ll really ought to give the PH puff pastry recipe a go soon.

These macarons look heavenly! I love the chocolate ganache center. I just found your site through Cakespy, and now I’m going to have to get another coffee and wander around a bit! Looks great!
