90 g granulated sugar
95 g powdered sugar
95 g almond flour
For the pumpkin spice filling:
4 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Whip egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar. Fold into meringue until batter flows like ribbons.
- Pipe 1½-inch circles on prepared sheets. Tap to release air bubbles.
- Rest shells 30–60 minutes until a skin forms.

Notes
Add orange gel food coloring for a festive look.
Mix in cream cheese for a tangy buttercream twist.
Dust shells with cinnamon before baking for extra spice.
