Ingredients

Filling

  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter room temperature
  • 6 ounces cream cheese (this can be omitted and replaced with butter)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons whole milk powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla pudding mix (Instant) (Not prepared. Use the dry mix)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract This amount depends on the brand you buy. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and taste it.
  • 2.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 7 whole Oreos or Oreo type cookies (I like Glutino for a gluten free version) plus more for sprinkling on top ground in a food processor

Topping

  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Or

  • 1 cup white chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Macaron Shells

  • You can use any plain macaron shells for this recipe. I like to add a little green food coloring for a nice green shell. Go here for my favorite shell recipe: https://michellesmacarons.com/french-macaron-recipe/
  • Bake the shells and let them cool completely

Make the Filling

  • Beat together the cream cheese and butter until combined
  • Add the brown sugar, milk powder, and pudding mix. Beat until fluffy and it seems like the sugar is starting to dissolve
  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and beat on high speed until it's really light and fluffy
  • Add the ground Oreos and beat until combined

Prepare the Topping

  • Melt the chocolate, add the oil, and stir until smooth

Assemble the Macaron

  • Pipe the filling onto a shell and top with another shell
  • Drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle with ground Oreos
  • For some extra flare, you can add some colorful sprinkles on top
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate is dry
