I am now moving onto making Fatcarons! But I have no idea where to start. I found a video that gives a recipe for making the macaron cookies but how do i make the buttercream? After researching it says swiss buttercream is the most common to use but I found that the swiss buttercream is sweet and has a little buttery aftertaste (maybe I just put in too much powdered sugar🤷‍♀️). I know that the filling shouldn't be too sweet since you pipe a lot on the cookies and it should be fairly thick so that it doesn't go outward when biting (note the image). But is there a base recipe I can use to fill my macarons for these style fatcarons in the photo because I cannot find anything?
Also how do you recommend I incorporate different flavors? (for ex: strawberry milk macaron, coffee, KitKat, etc.)

try ermine buttercream… less sweet
Do you use a Swiss meringue buttercream or a mock Swiss buttercream? SMBC doesn’t have powdered sugar, and is less sweet than the mock SMBCs I’ve tried.
