Macarons à L’assiette

Class flavors:
- Pistachio & Raspberry - filled with pistachio mousseline cream and fresh raspberries
- Tiramisu - filled with espresso pastry cream, chocolate ganache and mascarpone chantilly cream
Join Chef Justin to learn how to make French macarons using the Italian Méringue method (there are 3 methods to making a méringue, the French, Italian and Swiss methods), which involves cooking the egg whites with a hot sugar syrup, creating a méringue that is very stable, meaning that it’s not as easily deflated.
