Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift the almond flour and powdered sugar to eliminate lumps.
  3. Whip the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks (5-7 minutes).
  4. Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
  5. Pipe uniform circles (2 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are dry and firm.
  8. Cool the macarons completely on the sheets for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over chopped dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
  10. Fold in fresh raspberries, then pair cooled shells and pipe ganache onto one shell, topping it with another.
  11. Chill assembled macarons in an airtight container for at least an hour before serving.
