Instructions
Set the oven temperature to 175°C, fan.

Make the cream. Beat the butter until soft and add the icing sugar, cocoa powder and egg yolk. Process the oats in a blender to crush them slightly. Add the oats, coconut and coffee to the mixture. Whip the mixture to make a fluffy buttercream.
Spread the buttercream on the macaroon bases. Place the chocolate macaroons in the freezer for 15 minutes.
