Yuzu Macarons Recipe – So Chic x Valrhona

A bit of History

The macaron is the true symbol of French patisserie. Nowadays, it is fixed in the gastronomic culture of the country and is considered as the example of refinement and know-how of our craftsmen.

It is in the middle of the XIXth century that we see the birth of the Parisian “Macaron” – as we know it, symbol of French elegance & gastronomy. After being popularized in its traditional flavors (chocolate, vanilla, coffee, pistachio …), the macaron is today available in many flavors, for our greatest pleasure!

Because at So Chic we’re always craving for these delicious French pastries, we had to honor them with a special article! And what could be better than a Yuzu Macarons recipe from Valrhona for a delicious mix between French and Asian gastronomy?

Remember to take the ganache out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before assembling your macarons so that it is easier to pipe out
