Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches

Today’s Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches

As the leaves start to change color and the air gets crisper, I can’t help but feel the excitement of fall creeping in. Today, I’m sharing a recipe that combines two of my favorite things: pumpkin spice and macarons. These Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect way to welcome the autumn season in a sweet and indulgent way.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 100g egg whites
• 100g granulated sugar
• 100g almond flour
• 100g powdered sugar
• 100g pumpkin puree
• 200ml heavy cream
• 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
• vanilla ice cream (for filling)

To make these delightful treats, you will also need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowls
• whisk
• piping bag
• baking sheet
• spatula

Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the almond flour and powdered sugar until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes before baking for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set.

While the macarons are baking and cooling, whip the heavy cream with pumpkin spice until stiff peaks form. Fold in the pumpkin puree until well combined. Once the macarons have cooled, spread a generous amount of the pumpkin spice whipped cream onto one shell and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sandwich with another macaron shell and repeat with the remaining ingredients.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g. This recipe makes about 8 servings, with each serving weighing around 100g. Each serving is estimated to have around 250 calories.

An unusual tip for these Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches is to freeze the assembled sandwiches for an hour before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and create a deliciously creamy texture.

I hope you give these Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with different ice cream flavors or toppings to make this recipe your own. Happy baking!
