Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Real macarons are one of the trickiest things to bake: the meringue has to be just right and they take hours to rest and dry. These sandwiches give you the same round, filled look in ten minutes.
Make it a learning moment: the chocolate and cream filling is called ganache. Warm, it pours; cool, it spreads. Watch it change as it sits.
