Prep: 60 mins | Bake: 15 min | Makes 6 - 8 Macarons
Ingredients
(Macaron Shells)
1 Egg White, Room Temperature
1/8 Tsp Cream of Tartar
50g Granulated White Sugar
25g Ground Extra Fine Almond Flour
40g Icing Sugar
2 Tsp Finely Crushed Oreo - Just the Oreo Cookie without the centre
(Oreo Buttercream)
45g Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
20g Icing Sugar
3 Oreo Fillings - The white centre of an Oreo Cookie
3 Tbsp Finely Crushed Oreo
Directions
Remove the white centres from 3 Oreo Cookies and set aside. Then, blend the cookies in a food processor till finely crushed. Set aside.
(Macaron Shells)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Egg White and Cream of Tartar till foamy. Gradually add in Granulated White Sugar (1 Tbsp at a time) and continue whisking till stiff peaks form. The meringue is done when you can flip the bowl upside down and the meringue stays intact!
Sift the Almond Flour and Icing Sugar into the mixture and gently fold them in using a spatula till well combined. Then, add in the crushed Oreos and stir gently.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. The mixture should be slightly sticky at this point, resembling molten lava)
Prepare a large baking pan with a baking sheet and pipe the Macaron Shell Mixture on it, being sure to leave small gaps between each shell.
Let the Macaron Shells rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking them at 150°C for 15 mins.
Cool completely before use.
Tip: Before baking the Macaron Shells, get rid of the pointy tips from the piping process! Simply dip your finger in water and gently flatten them.
(Oreo Buttercream)
In a mixing bowl, add in Butter, Icing Sugar and Oreo Fillings and whisk until Buttercream is smooth and airy.
Gently stir in Crushed Oreos till well combined.
Transfer the Buttercream to a piping bag and set aside.
Tip: Don't have a piping bag? Use a large Ziploc bag instead! Simply transfer the mixture in and cut a small piece of the corner off.
(Assembling the Macarons)
When the Macaron Shells have cooled completely, pipe the Oreo Buttercream on the base. Then, place another Macaron Shell above it and gently press both shells together.
Repeat till all Macarons have been assembled.
Ready to serve!
Let's dig in!
Enjoy~
