Découvrir FAUCHON à travers nos macarons

Le reflet de notre savoir-faire artisanal français

Découvrez nos macarons

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.
