Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar. 3 large egg whites, room temperature. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Orange food coloring optional. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar for buttercream. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for buttercream.
Instructions: Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. In a bowl, sift together almond flour and 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar; set aside. Beat the egg whites in a different bowl until frothy. Add the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and granulated sugar gradually. Beat on until stiff peaks start to form. To achieve the desired color, you can add orange food coloring to the egg white mixture. Till everything is well combined, gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg white mixture. This batter is for macarons. Pour the batter into a bag fitted with a round tip for piping. Pipe tiny rounds onto the baking sheet that has been ready. To get rid of any air bubbles, tap the sheet against the counter. To form a skin, let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for approximately half an hour. To the touch, they shouldn't feel sticky. Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have risen. Leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely. Make the cinnamon buttercream while the macarons are cooling. Smooth and creamy texture is achieved by beating softened butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Sort the macarons into pairs according to size and shape after they've cooled. Place a tiny dollop of cinnamon buttercream between two macaron shells and press them together. Continue after all of the macarons. To allow the flavors to meld, place the macarons in an airtight container and refrigerate for a full day. Your homemade Pumpkin Pie Spiced Cinnamon Butter Cream Macarons are ready to be served. Enjoy!
