Valentine’s Day usually brings to mind a box of chocolates for your sweetheart. Solid milk chocolate hearts and cherry creams are delicious, but what about something a little different this year?
Lian’s Sweet Shoppe suggests a wonderfully French confection for this Valentine’s Day: Macarons.
Haven’t you heard? Macarons are a rising trend! Not to be confused with the shredded coconut dessert macaroons, macarons have become increasingly popular in the United States. Some news articles say it may be overtaking the cupcake as the “au courant” “must-have confection.”
For those who are not familiar with macarons, they are a predominantly French confection consisting of two layers of light meringue-based cookie filled with ganache, buttercream.
Another great way to make this dessert even more special is to serve it with a glass of champagne, prosecco or cava.
Liansss Macarons is a cart located at the Westfield Valencia Town Center near the food court, across Forever 21 store that carries a wide variety of macaron Flavors such as: Red Velvet, Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Pistachio, Green Tea, Earl Grey, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Mint, Hazelnut, Almond, Rose, and Lavender!
These French treats come in beautiful colorful shades, so they’re perfect to give to your Valentine, a daughter, or gal pal this holiday. Some of these are obviously best for gift giving to pals or daughters.
These French cookies are a great option to give a friend or relative, a sweet little treat is the gift box of six or the gift box of 12. For something a little more substantial (for your special someone), give a larger assortment of macarons, like the 25-piece box that comes in a beautiful gift box where you can pick and choose different flavors. They are a gluten-free confection, any girl would be happy to get these on Valentine’s Day.
So what’s it going to be this Valentine’s Day? A piece of chocolate or a macaron?
