These are for all the Bounty lovers<\/strong> out there!<\/p>\n

As you know, Bounty is a famous snack with milk chocolate and coconut<\/strong>: it is a great combination of flavours and that’s why World Champion Christophe Michalak<\/strong> tried to recreate it with macarons<\/strong> and so here is his recipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I loved making these macarons because 1) they are delicious<\/strong> and 2) they\u00a0also feature a nice decoration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Macarons are so aesthetically simple<\/strong> that it is really hard to find a good decoration for them. In this case I piped a few zigzag lines of melted chocolate<\/strong> on top then sprinkled with shredded coconut: so simple, but so nice!<\/strong> (If you don’t remember how to create a parchment paper piping cone<\/em>, here is an explanation<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The filling<\/strong>, which should\u00a0be prepared one day in advance, is “just” a simple ganache with a twist<\/strong>: instead of cream or milk, the milk chocolate (Jivara)<\/strong> is emulsified with coconut milk<\/strong> and then shredded coconut is added. Pure pleasure! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
