Macarons au café

I make cafe latte every morning with a freshly pulled espresso with soy milk. A perfect cup of coffee to kick start my day. This is my favorite time of the day.

I like coffee flavored sweets, so I tried to make sweets by using this espresso.
This cream is a little bit lighter than ganache cream, and richer than whipped cream. The amount of whipping cream and chocolate allows the cream to be lighter or richer.

For the macaron dough, you just need to change the amount of almond powder and add cacao powder. Make the chocolate macaron dough in the same way as the plain one.
