egg whites (Split into 72 g each), 210 g granulated sugar, and 70 ml cold water. The cocoa is to be added to the ground

granulated sugar and 212 g of heavy cream.

### Step 3

Separate the caramel into 3/4 for ganache and 1/4 for salted caramel.

### Step 4

Add 54 percent cocoa chocolate to the 3/4 caramel to make the ganache.

### Step 5

Add flaked sea salt and unsalted butter to 1/4 caramel to make the dry salted caramel.

### Step 6

Pop both in fridge and chill for 1 hour.

### Step 7

Assemble the macarons by piping a ring of the chocolate ganache on the cookie and then filling the ring with the salted
caramel.

### Step 8

After assembly, refrigerate overnight or for a full 24 hours so that the filling solidifies.
