Saturday Morning Macaron

Description

*A Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored macaron* I built this to be a delightful contrast between sophisticated dessert, the French macaron, and childhood memories, Saturday mornings in front of cartoons with a big bowl of CTC. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I started with the macaron base from my [Mango Blossom Macaron](https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/46330#mango_blossom_macaron_by_id10_t) recipe. The rest is pretty straightforward, though it took some work the get it all to sit in the recipe without overpowering the macaron. **FLV Cinnamon Crunch** is a great flavor that actually tastes a lot like CTC all by itself, with just a few minor issues. It's not quite crunchy enough - the light touch of **TFA AP** fixes that. It's a little low on cinnamon - **FLV Rich Cinnamon** solves that problem, but it's so strong. One fat drop in a 40ml is plenty. For mixing less than 40ml of this, you probably want to create a 10% Rich Cinnamon + 90% PG dilution and use it at 0.8%. The bit of Rich Cinnamon also annihilates a little hint of unwanted maple I get from the Cinnamon Crunch. **FA Milk** at 1% gives that FLV Cream an accurate hint of dairy to finish the recipe, without getting too soggy.
