Are you looking for a delicious treat that combines the flavors of pumpkin spice and French macarons? You’re in luck! We have two delightful recipes to share with you that are sure to please your taste buds!
First up, we have Pumpkin Spice Macarons from The Seaside Baker. To begin, preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, in a large bowl, sift together 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 cup of almond flour. In another bowl, beat 3 egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then gradually add in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
Next, fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture until fully combined. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them sit for 20-30 minutes to form a thin “skin” on the top.
Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes or until they are crisp on the outside but still chewy on the inside. Let them cool completely before adding the filling.
For the filling, mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Then, sandwich a small dollop of the filling between two macaron halves to make a finished cookie.
Next, we have Pumpkin Spice Latte French Macarons from The Homesteady. To start, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, blend 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of espresso powder until finely ground.
In a separate bowl, whip 2 egg whites until firm peaks form. Gradually add in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, continuing to whip until the mixture is glossy and stiff.
Then, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until fully combined. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them sit for 30 minutes to form a skin on top.
Bake the macarons for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the tops are dry. Let them cool completely before adding the filling.
For the filling, mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of strong brewed coffee, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Sandwich the filling between two macaron halves to make a delicious treat.
