Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 60 seconds until steaming but not boiling.

  2. Step 2

    Pour cream over chopped chocolate and butter. Let sit 90 seconds, then stir until completely smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk in powdered sugar and cocoa powder until the mixture is thick and fudgy, like brownie batter.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon heaping tablespoon-sized bites onto parchment paper. Chill in freezer for 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Top each fudge bite with a macaron. Serve cold or at room temperature.
