Ingredients:
For the Macaron Shells:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Orange food coloring
- Green food coloring
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
For the Macaron Shells:
- Prepare a Template:
- Create a pumpkin template on a piece of parchment paper. You can draw small circles for each macaron and a pumpkin shape around them. Place the template on a baking sheet.
- Sift Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together into a large mixing bowl. Discard any large lumps.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Fold Dry Ingredients:
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until the batter is smooth and shiny. Add a few drops of orange food coloring and fold until you achieve your desired shade.
- Pipe the Macarons:
- Transfer the macaron batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the batter onto the parchment paper following the pumpkin template. Gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Create Stems:
- Using a toothpick or a smaller piping tip, create green stems for the pumpkins.
- Rest the Macarons:
- Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes until they form a slight skin.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes or until they have developed feet and are set. Allow them to cool completely.
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Macarons:
- Once the macaron shells are cooled, pair them up by size.
- Pipe or spread a generous amount of the pumpkin filling on the flat side of one shell, and then gently sandwich it with another shell.
- Chill and Serve:
- Allow the filled macarons to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
