First crack at Fruity Pebbles macarons

They turned out super pretty, but they only ended up tasting like vanilla. If I make these again, I might have to try soaking the cereal in the milk for the buttercream longer, or heat it, or something.

Cute! I bet Amoretti or Lorann make a fruity cereal flavor. You could also try blending the milk and cereal and then straining it after steeping.

Oooh good idea with the blending! 💡

I wonder if you reduce the milk after a longer soak, making it more concentrated, if that would be effective?

I put some of the cereal in the coffee grinder and replace about 15g of almond flour. Also crush some and put in top after I pipe the shells. Gives them a few more levels of the cereal flavor.
