“Oh My! Pumpkin Pie!” Macarons

• 1 cup Tropical Food's Diet Delight(R) Snack Mix, separated
• MACARONS
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 large egg whites, room temperature
• Pinch of cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup superfine sugar
• 1/2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
• PUMPKIN RAISIN FILLING
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp. orange juice
• 1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tbsp. butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Separate nuts from raisins in Tropical Food's Diet Delight(R). Use a food processor to grind nuts to a powder, but do not let it grind to a butter.
3. Sift the nut flour with confectioners' sugar and pumpkin pie spice into a small bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy; add cream of tartar and superfine sugar. Whip to a stiff peak.
5. Sift nut flour over egg mixture and fold together. Scrape batter into a piping bag with round tip sized for desired macaron size. Pipe out identical rounds of batter and let sit until a light skin is formed.
6. Lower oven to 325 degrees and bake macarons for 10 minutes, rotating halfway between.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then fill.
8. To make filling, place raisins from Diet Delight(R) into a food processor and process until chopped.
9. Add the remaining filling ingredients and process until well blended. Scrape into a bag and pipe a small amount sandwiched between two macarons.
