We&#8217;re not big champagne drinkers, Florek and I, I do like a glass of prosecco every now and then, but we hardly ever have bubbles at home. What we do happen to have is a handsome bottle of Disaronno. I&#8217;ve made a Disaronno jelly out of 100 ml of the liqueur and a gelatine leaf, while the perfect batch of macarons were baking.\u00a0 I also replaced 65 g of almonds with toasted and ground walnuts in the original recipe, but I can&#8217;t say it massively revolutionized the taste.\u00a0 The jelly was nicely set, enough to cut it out with a round cake nozzle, but in the end I just spooned it out onto the shells.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2017\/09\/20170923_151626.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2363\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2017\/09\/20170923_151626.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"1138\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Onto those I added a ring of chocolate ganache. As the shells were perfect today, they needed no time to soak, they were good to eat pretty much straight away. I have to say- exquisite. The jelly is very strong when tasted on its own, but with the ganache and meringue makes for a real treat.\u00a0 Another door opened, getting ideas for the festive season in 3 months time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2017\/09\/20170923_155340.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2364\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2017\/09\/20170923_155340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"1138\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a visit to Whole Foods yesterday I had a peek at their macarons display and saw champagne flavoured ones, which inspired me to try something a little different.
