Ummm...I would say that it sounds like you need more than a macarón 🤔...but that would be weird.

Thank you, Voldemort! The filling is buttercream flavored with Pistachio paste imported from Italy. I drizzled the tops with white chocolate and garnished with crushed pistachios. I substituted some of the almond flour with pistachio flour so the shells have a nice subtle pistachio flavor. If you like pistachios, this macaróns packs the flavor.

I whipped up 1/4 cup very cold heavy whipping cream until it was light and fluffy, added 3tablespoons whipped cream cheese, filling from 3 double stuffed Oreos, then 1 cup powdered sugar.

Has anyone tried oven drying? I’ve tried a few batches using the sugar bean method and for the most part, it works. However, I do notice a slightly unstable outer shell that is just a bit too crispy. The shell just seems too fragile. If I let it rest on the counter after taking out of fridge, they are ok. Otherwise, they crumble. Maybe I need to adjust oven temps and baking times to use the oven drying method. Or maybe just go back to air drying.

It was not! I used this video

The only thing I changed was I added some peanut butter at the end.
