How to make Oreo macaron shells

For macaron shells, I used almond flour, powdered sugar, and crumbs from Oreo cookies without filling. Remove the filling from Oreo cookies and make crumbs. You can pulse it in the food processor for a few seconds or place it in the plastic bag and crush it with the rolling pin. However you make crumbs, just make sure to sift almond flour, powdered sugar, and crumbs. If you end up with big pieces of crumbs, simply discharge them. You need to have smooth macaron shells, and big pieces of crumbs will affect this.

Tip from Marina: you can top macaron shells with cookie crumbs after pipping.

How to make White chocolate Oreo ganache

In the small saucepan, bring to simmer heavy whipping cream. Do not boil! Pour the warm, heavy cream over white chocolate. Let it set for a minute or two. Emulsify with an immersion blender. Add crushed Oreo (without filling) and emulsify again. The ganache should be smooth and silky. Transfer the ganache into a flat container and cover it with plastic “to contact.” Let the ganache to set in the fridge for 6-8 hours.

How to fill macarons

When you are ready to fill macarons, transfer macarons into a pipping bag with a round tip. I also used a Wilton 6B piping tip. Pipe Oreo ganache on the flat side of the macaron’s shell and place another shell on top of the ganache to make a sandwich. Be careful not to smush the delicate shell when assembling macarons. Transfer filled macarons into an air-tight container and keep in the fridge for 12 hours. Macarons need to “mature” before you can enjoy them.

Tip from Marina: you can roll filled macarons into cookie crumbs or add crumbs in the center of the ganache when you are assembling macarons.
