I wanted to bake macarons again and looked to Macarons & more website for a flavour inspiration. A chap called Tim Kinnaird took part in Masterchef a few years ago, reached the final but did not win. His macarons are still remembered, but now he runs his own company, inspiring guy! One of the flavours he sells is salted caramel, my new favourite. I thought chocolate shells would be better and reduce the sweetness a bit, so I baked them replacing 40 g of icing sugar with cocoa. The filling was wild and random, yet successful- I blitzed about 2tbsps of mascarpone, 1 tbsp of Philadelphia, 3 tsps of salted caramel spread- roughly and just a tsp of peanut butter. And it tastes pretty damn good. A smear of salted caramel on top and a sprinkle of toasted nuts. Thumbs up.
