Just as I’m entertaining an idea of maybe baking these things for a living, today they were less than perfect. They cracked in the oven( too hot oven, according to Dorota), so I reduced the temperature and added 3 minutes to the baking time. And the filling spilled out, though I was confident it was thickened enough to hold.

Macaroons made usual way with a Wilton colourant ” leaf green”. 100 ml of double cream brought nearly to boiling point, 1 tsp of good quality green tea added. 240 g of white chocolate, in, well combined after 2 minutes of melting in the cream.  Chilled in the fridge till thick enough to pipe onto the macaroons.

The taste brings to mind green tea Kit Kats from Japan, really nice. Not too sweet. If only they looked as good as they taste, I’d be happy.
