At Christmas, macarons to offer and taste

With their creamy ganache nestled between two slightly crispy shells and a soft biscuit, macarons are the perfect gift to delight your loved ones at Christmas. A true pastry gem, the macaron is a gift in itself. It awakens all the senses and offers an intense moment of tasting, which is renewed with each bite for an exceptional gourmet break.

Offer Fauchon macarons for Christmas

The result of the expertise and high standards of Maison Fauchon, the macarons are made from the finest ingredients and handcrafted with the meticulous care of a goldsmith according to a traditional recipe. Each macaron is therefore unique, imbued with all the attention, virtuosity and patience required at each stage of its creation. More than just a pastry, you are offering a refined and subtle artisanal creation in an elegant setting.

Decline the pleasures

Because the macaron is a unique delicacy, Fauchon offers it in a multitude of finely crafted flavors that are as many unforgettable taste experiences. At Christmas, some will appreciate the lightness of fruity macarons, starting with classic flavors like raspberry, lemon, rose, without forgetting the bold combinations of blackcurrant-violet, pistachio-lemon, mango-redcurrant or vanilla-raspberry.

 

Others will enjoy the deliciousness of creamy macaroons, with generous and deep flavors: caramel, white chocolate with milk heart, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut praline... Traditional, gourmet or unusual, discover a vast palette of flavors that promises to amaze all palates during the holidays.

 

To be enjoyed as a dessert to round off a good meal with an airy touch or to be savored alone to treat yourself to a special moment, Christmas macarons are as delicious to share as they are to keep for yourself.

A box of macarons for Christmas

At the foot of the tree, among the many colorful gift packages, sits a box that is just waiting to reveal its contents… It is an elegant box of Fauchon macarons. A neat design, in an original, shimmering, classic or voluptuous style, themes for all tastes: Make your choice to create the enchantment of your recipient.

 

With the mixed boxes, accompany your majestic box with a bottle of Fauchon brut champagne and offer a high-end gift that lives up to your intentions. In selections of 6 to 32 pieces, Fauchon boxes adapt to all appetites and all wallets.

Why offer macarons at Christmas?

As the holidays approach, everyone thinks twice as much to find the gift idea that will please their loved ones. While some gifts go straight to the heart, others fall into oblivion and are added to the long list of objects that we did not need. What we often forget is that a gift does not have to be permanent. Think of trips, spa days, good bottles of wine that are intended to be consumed but can mark their recipient with a precious and lasting memory.

 

Macarons are the perfect example. By offering macarons, much more than a beautiful box and delicious bites, you offer a unique moment of pleasure of inestimable value. Like roses, macarons can convey a thousand and one emotions through their different characteristics. Words become flavors, emotions become colors.

FAUCHON's answers to your questions

Fauchon is one of the leading macaron manufacturers in Paris. Come and discover our gourmet world in our online boutique.

Fauchon, producer, artisan and creator of exceptional gastronomic products, takes the exquisite macaron de Paris beyond borders.In a hundred or so outlets around the world, Fauchon reflects French savoir-faire and exalts the finest palates.

The making of Fauchon macarons takes on its full meaning in the kitchen, where our pastry chefs exercise their passion and bring the greatest care to your pastries.

Prepared with the utmost care and using high-quality ingredients, each macaron is made with respect for tradition and a deep love of savoir-faire.

The Fauchon macaron, 100% Made in France, is made with 3 essential ingredients:

  • almond powder directly from almond trees
  • powdered sugar
  • eggs from free-range chickens

The dexterity and finesse of our chefs reflect the success of our macarons.

The Fauchon macaroon is prepared in two stages:

1) Making the crunchy meringue

First, the almond powder and powdered sugar are combined to form a single, fine, vaporous powder. At the same time, the egg whites are vigorously beaten into a cloud of softness.

Our agile expert then adds the caster sugar to the mixture, and whips it until completely incorporated.

Then it's time to fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Once the recipe is almost complete, our maryse expert arranges the macaroons on a baking tray, with a precise diameter, and moves forward to ensure gentle, controlled baking.

Once baked, our round, smooth shells with a pretty collar at the base are ready to receive the traditional Fauchon ganache.

Fauchon's well-kept secret is now revealed to you, so you can plunge into the heart of our know-how.

2) Adding the sweet ganache

The ganache, a delicious preparation made from liquid cream and butter, is enhanced with syrup for a fruity macaron, or pure cocoa for a chocolate macaron.

The final step is to melt the delicious meringues into the luscious ganache. Our frisky pastry chef then arranges the filling on the soft shells with the utmost care and attention to detail.
