I tried this recipe twice. Don't use chocolate syrup as it creates a lumpy mixture which is difficult to fold in egg white mixture. Also ensure you sieve icing sugar and ground almonds.

Method

Grease 3 oven trays and line with baking paper. Beat egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add Chelsea Caster Sugar and beat until dissolved and firm peaks form.

Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Fold in ground almonds, 2 Tbsp of the chocolate syrup and sifted icing sugar and cocoa until just combined.

Spoon mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm-plain tube. Pipe 3cm rounds, 2cm apart on prepared trays, then dust with extra sifted cocoa.

Cook in a slow oven at 150°C for about 15 mins or until cooked. Stand macaroons on trays for 5 mins before transferring to wire rack to cool.

To make chocolate filling, combine chocolate and cream in a small pan. Stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in remaining Tbsp of chocolate syrup. Cover and refrigerate until mixture is thick. Sandwich macarons together with chocolate filling.

Before serving, dust with extra sifted cocoa.
