開心果馬卡龍 Pistachio Macaron 迷人的香氣, 溫潤如玉

開心果馬卡龍 Pistachio Macaron 迷人的香氣 溫潤如玉. like a warm jade scented with a lovely nutty aroma...nom nom nom




自從去了巴黎, 就愛上了開心果. 濃濃的堅果味征服了我. 它是一個台灣沒有的口味. 曾經有那一段時間一直尋找開心果的甜食, 開心果冰淇淋, 馬卡龍, 金融家, 泡芙, 蛋糕, 塔....等等. 最後在離開巴黎時還帶了一罐一公斤的開心果醬回台灣. 


也許你會說, 去巴黎不帶LV包, 卻帶開心果醬回來 真是個傻瓜. 


我就是那麼傻. 


傻傻的聞著這香氣, 思念著那些在巴黎的時光.







To me, pistachio is like the flavor of Paris. It was where I started having all these pistachio flavored sweets: financier, ice cream, choux pastry, tart, cakes....and macarons of course. Hey, they didn't have pistachio desserts in Taiwan. So, instead of bringing back Louis Vuitton handbags and shoes from Paris, I brought a can of pistachio paste back with me. Yes it was heavy, but it's worth all the money.


Whenever I open up that can, the aromas bring my memories back to the old times in Paris...


Few days ago, I had a few egg whites left and I flipped through my Pierre Herme Macaron cookbook and made this lovely pistachio macaron.... it tastes SO good that I regret I only brought a can of pistachio paste back with me! ...nom nom nom...


Here's how I made it:
