Description

Pumpkin Pie Macarons are the perfect fall treats that combine the elegance of French macarons with the warm, spicy flavor of pumpkin pie. These festive treats are ideal for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and holiday parties, offering a stunning and delicious dessert option to impress your guests during the fall season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Food coloring (orange or pumpkin shade)
  • Pumpkin-flavored filling (cream cheese or mascarpone-based)
  • Optional: Edible glitter or fall-themed sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Begin by sifting the powdered sugar and almond flour together into a bowl. This step ensures smooth, crack-free macarons that melt in your mouth.
  2. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice, then whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Add food coloring during this step for vibrant fall hues.
  4. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Tap the tray gently to remove air bubbles.
  5. Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • Ensure the macarons have a proper resting time for a smooth top and to prevent cracking.
  • Use high-quality almond flour for best texture.
  • Color the batter with food coloring to enhance the festive look.
  • Fill the shells with creamy pumpkin-flavored filling for authentic flavor.
  • Store macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
