How to make homemade Oreos

I have never understood the passion that food bloggers have for Oreos! I think they taste a lot of sugar and not much else… (Do you agree with me? Let me know in the comments!) 😀

Soooo… I decided to make my very own homemade Oreos!

The best thing is that they are not hard at all to make!

The result is buttery cocoa biscuits with a rich, white chocolate ganache filling (with a looot of vanilla!).

I bet that once you try these, you’ll never want to buy Oreos again! If you try this recipe, let me know if I won the bet! 😛

Ingredients

Biscuits

250gUnsalted butter (room temperature)
100gPowdered sugar
1 pinchSalt
60gEgg whites (~2 egg whites, room temperature)
290gPastry flour
50gCocoa powder

White chocolate ganache

150gWhite chocolate
120gHeavy cream
1/2Vanilla bean

Directions

White chocolate ganache

1
Start by heating the cream with the vanilla seeds.
2
Once it is boiling, pour it over the chopped white chocolate.
Stir gently with a spatula without incorporating air until you obtain a thick and shiny ganache. If you want, for a better result, you can mix everything with an immersion blender. Store in the fridge for a few hours or better overnight.

Biscuits

3
Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt together
4
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the room-temperature butter with the icing sugar at high speed for around 10 minutes
5
Add the flour and cocoa mixture alternately with the egg whites into the creamed butter in three times
6
The final dough should thick and firm
7
Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to around 3-5mm and then freeze for around 20 minutes.
8
After this, remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut out the biscuits with a cookie cutter. The ideal size is 4-5cm.
9
Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined tray, and bake them for around 15 minutes at 170°C.
10
Once they have cooled down, pipe a bit of ganache on a biscuit...
11
...and place another one on top pressing gently
