At La Maison du Chocolat, macarons are a skillful affair, requiring two distinct areas of craftsmanship. Chocolatiers and pâtissiers come together to create the timeless ganache filling with its iconic texture. It was in 2006 that La Maison du Chocolat created its first collection of ganache-filled macarons, initially called "Ganache Heart", created in myriad flavors: chocolate, chocolate/raspberry, chocolate/vanilla, chocolate/coffee, chocolate/caramel and more. The recipe? Beautifully crisp Italian meringue is cooked for longer than usual to create macaron shells with a beautiful texture. These shells are then filled with ganache and assembled individually and with great care, all by hand.
