Author Notes
Macaron friends, have your efforts resulted in feetless and cracked macarons? Look no further....you'll never have to bin them again as you turn failure...into success! The beauty of this recipe is it takes literally minutes to assemble and looks FAB. you can also swap the cream/creme fraiche for ice cream/ Greek yoghurt/ sour cream/ Turkish yoghurt.., this could be right up your alley, it is right up mine!
If you don't have macs to hand, meringues are the standard ingredient in the recipe. Or swap with a crisp cookie! —Kitchen Butterfly
