Macaron with Pumpkin Buttercream

It's been a long time I have not bake Macaron. Today I am in the mood to bake some as requested by my nieces. Since I still have balanced pumpkin, therefore I decide to try the pumpkin buttercream. I have not tried this type of filling before but was suprised that it taste quite good. For some balanced Macarons, I have used Nutella as filling.

Hi Cecilia
I have never tried macarons, and this is the first time I have heard of pumpkin buttercream. Although I do not make cakes with buttercream that often, I will remember to look up your pumpkin buttercream recipe when the time comes. Thanks for linking up to MTR#3- Taste of Autumn :)
