Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl.
- In another bowl, whip egg whites until frothy. Gradually add granulated sugar while whisking until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites with a spatula until glossy and flowing.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets, then tap them lightly to release air bubbles.
- Let piped macarons rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they form a skin.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake each tray one at a time for about 15 minutes, until risen and firm to touch.
- In a bowl, combine softened butter, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Once cooled, sandwich two macaron shells together with the pumpkin spice filling.
