Berry Cheese Macaron

 My niece told me that she wanted to eat macaron about 1 month ago, but I still couldn't find the right time to make it for her.

Well, you know that I have so many thing (that I want) to do, and I had to think about what kind of the macaron that I wanted to make. Round macaron with filling is simple and sometimes boring, I didn't want to make it now. 
 I want to make cute and interesting, with flavor that goes well with the sweetness of the macaron. Finally, I decided to combine cream cheese cream and berry to make this lovely macaron ^^.
The key for making good macaron is the dryness and oven temperature, if your macaron is fully dry it reduce the chance of breaking, and the right oven temperature (it's varies from one to one). You can start by baking it at lower temperature it reduce the chance of breaking too but the down point is the macaron will have thiner outer shell and the inside of the macaron will be hollow too. Try increasing the temperature until your macaron turns out with the texture that you want (I bake at  180℃  right now ^^, but not everyone's oven can use the same temperature). 
The cheese cream in this recipe is not as sweet as the one that you use for frosting the cake as I make it to balance with the sweetness of the macaron.
