Description

These Oreo macarons combine crispy shells with a creamy ganache, making for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert! (Makes about 20-25 macarons - about 40 shells)


Ingredients

Oreo Shells:

  • 100 g (1/2 cup) egg whites - room temperature
  • 125 g (1/2 cup) fine granulated sugar
  • 110 g (1 cup) almond flour - blanched
  • 120 g (1 cup) powdered sugar
  • 20 g of Oreo cookies - about 4-5 cookies, without the cream filling

Oreo Ganache:

  • 200 g (7 oz) white chocolate
  • 95 g (1/2 cup) heavy cream - full fat
  • 66 g of Oreo biscuits - about 10-12 whole cookies

Instructions

Oreo Ganache

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, heating in 20-30 second intervals and stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, until warm but not boiling.
  3. Pour the warm cream over the melted chocolate and finely ground Oreo cookies (without the cream), and stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. Let the ganache set at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 1 hour until it thickens and becomes easier to use.

Oreo Macarons

  1. Blend the almond flour, powdered sugar, and Oreo cookies (without the cream) in a food processor until you get a fine, homogeneous powder.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, whip the egg whites until foamy. While the mixer is on low-medium speed, add the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time every 30 seconds. Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and continue whipping until stiff peaks form with a bird's beak.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the meringue all at once, using a flexible spatula to avoid deflating the meringue. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter that forms a ribbon when you lift the spatula.
  4. Using a piping bag, pipe small dollops of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Let the macarons rest for 30-45 minutes until they form a crust.

Baking

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Bake the macarons for about 14-15 minutes, then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Once the shells are cooled, pipe the Oreo white chocolate ganache onto them.
  4. Sandwich the macaron shells together to form the macarons.

Notes

Storage:
Store the macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. You can also keep them at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. They also freeze very well for 1 to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Let the macaron shells rest before baking for the best results.
  • For a softer filling, let the macarons rest in the fridge for 24 hours before eating.
  • Be sure to sift the almond flour and powdered sugar to avoid lumps.
  • Use a scale for precise measurements and perfect results.
