I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

Vegan Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Ganache

This is the first time I've been late in posting the Daring Bakers' challenges. We just moved into our new house, got our Internet connection back, and finally got a tiny breather in between busy projects. ~~So I'm three days late in posting this month's challenge.~~ I must be losing my mind. I'm not late. I'm exactly on time. Thank God!

The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.

These are not the macaroons we usually think of. These are the real thing - French macarons. You can find the original recipe here. I based my vegan version on David Lebovitz's recipe and instructions. I used Ener-G egg replacers to substitute egg whites with great success. The vegan macarons have a very similar texture to the original ones, and they are totally decadent.

Vegan Chocolate Macarons

I could just eat the macaron cookies by themselves. I actually made two batches this time, chocolate flavor and original almond flavor.

I loved the Belgian chocolate ganache as the filling. If you are in the mood for some serious sweet treats, make these macarons.
