If you follow me on instagram, you may notice I have a slight macaron obsession. There is something so complete in the bite sized dessert. They are too rich to gorge on and even this chocoholic’s sweet tooth is very much satisfied after a single macaron. I happen to live next to the cutest place with daily macarons and for awhile, buying one (to match my outfit…ha!) was a highlight. I finally tried to make a go of it on my own, mixing several different recipes since I didn’t want a vanilla macaron died a pumpkin color. I want a true pumpkin macaron because the leaves are turning and falling and it is officially the season of all things pumpkin.
In the interest of full disclosure, I made my macarons too thin and next time I would use a silpat pan which means buying one. Nonetheless, thin or thick, these little babies were delicious. The Pumpkin Spice Creamy Filling was so yummy. For a sophisticated, satisfying dessert, challenge yourself with this recipe.
(As an aside, you are supposed/should weigh your ingredients. I don’t have a scale so I had to google ounces to cups and did the best I could. But with something as delicate as macarons, by all means weigh it. I am including the measurements in ounces so you can weigh and if you do not have a scale, you can do your own math because mine cannot be depended on.)
