Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the pumpkin spice filling: combine the pumpkin spice blend with the heavy cream and set aside.
2
Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl to remove any lumps.
3
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the granulated sugar. The meringue should be firm and hold its shape.
4
Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar into the meringue. Be careful not to overmix, to maintain the lightness.
5
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Let the piped macarons rest for 30 minutes to allow a skin to form on top before baking.
7
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, then let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
8
Melt the white chocolate, then stir it into the pumpkin spice cream to create a smooth and creamy ganache.
9
Once the ganache is smooth, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
10
When the macarons are cool, pipe the creamy pumpkin spice ganache onto one half of each macaron shell, then sandwich with another shell.
11
Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
