Un macaron du vegan s'il vous plait!Award-winning French pastry chef Pierre Herm has just created his first vegan macaron.

Called the Rose des Sables macaroon, the pastry uses an almond and oat-milk chocolate filling with rose and praline cookies. Algae extract and potato protein replaces the egg usually found in the French dessert. Chef Pierre Herms newest vegan confection has been launched in celebration of his new book, Infiniment Macaron, all about, as you likely guessed, the art of macarons.

Chef Herm described theflavor profile of the macaroon, saying, The soft and caramelized notes of the roasted almond mix with the suave fragrances of the rose-scented milk chocolate ganache to achieve the epitome of taste. The French take their pastries very seriously, and it certainly sounds like chef Herm put a lot of thought into his new creation.

Chef Herm is not the only notable pastry chef to veganize the worlds most Instagram-able pastry. The Parisian Bakery Lauderes Los Angeles location partnered with the plant-based chef Mathew Kenney to launch a vegan menu. The Los Angeles and New York City locations both serve plant-based versions of breakfast classics as well as dairy-free confections.
