In the meantime cook the water with the sugar (2) until 120°C and pour over the whipped egg whites (b).

Continue to work the mixture (macaronner) and pipe the macaroon shells on a baking tray, covered with baking paper.

Set aside for 10-15 minutes before baking.

Bake at 160°C, during 10-12 minutes.

Sieve the cream and heat together with the inverted sugar and the puréé.

Pour over the dark chocolate and mix, together with the Campari® to a smooth and shiny emulsion.

Let crystalize.
