Pâtissier Tipiak’s heart-shaped macarons
The heart is a symbol that is universal all year round, but specifically gearing up for Valentine’s Day 2024, the French pâtissier has launched a selection of heart-shaped macarons designed for the UK food service sector.
Available exclusively from Central Foods, the collection features 10 strawberry and 10 chocolate pieces and, just like Tipiak’s other authentic ‘thaw and serve’ macarons, are produced in a certified gluten-free area to a traditional French recipe.
“We are delighted to be launching our eye-catching Tipiak heart-shaped macarons for food service customers in the UK,” said Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé, international development project manager at Tipiak
“Macarons are one of the most treasured French desserts in the world and these heart-shaped versions are especially appealing.
“Made in France, they are unique to the UK frozen food service sector and can be served in a whole host of ways to brighten up and romanticise desserts, cakes, and beverage menus. Simply thaw and serve, et voilà!”
Tipiak’s heart-shaped ‘thaw and serve’ macarons are perfect for Valentine’s Day but are also ideal throughout the year for weddings, birthdays and to make any afternoon tea rather special. They can also be used to bring a romantic touch to cakes or as toppings for shakes and smoothies.
Made from natural colours – such as beetroot and dark chocolate – each 15g macaron contains just 67 calories. Delivered frozen, they take two hours to defrost in the fridge, plus a further 15 minutes at room temperature. Keep chilled and consume within 24 hours.
The new macarons join Tipiak’s classic French macarons and French pop macaron fruits selections, which are already available to the UK food service sector via key wholesalers.
