Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml / 120 grams) canned pumpkin puree
- 4 oz (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsps pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 can (8 oz / 226 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar (for topping, optional)
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar (for drizzle)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for drizzle)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and non-stick baking.
- Filling Creation: Whisk pumpkin puree, cream cheese, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract into a smooth, homogeneous mixture that promises rich, decadent flavor.
- Dough Arrangement: Unfurl the crescent roll dough, separating triangles and laying them flat on the prepared baking sheet, creating a canvas for the delectable filling.
- Filling and Rolling: Spread a luxurious dollop of pumpkin cream cheese mixture onto the wider section of each dough triangle, then carefully roll from the base to the tip, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed and sealed.
- Positioning and Enhancing: Arrange the rolled crescents with pointed tips facing downward, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar for a golden, caramelized exterior that promises a delightful crunch.
- Baking and Resting: Bake in the preheated oven until the crescents turn a gorgeous golden brown, approximately 10-12 minutes, then allow to cool briefly, letting the filling set and the pastry reach its perfect texture.
Notes
- Prevent Filling Leakage: Seal crescent roll edges tightly to keep the creamy pumpkin mixture from spilling during baking, ensuring a neat and delicious result.
- Adjust Spice Level: Customize pumpkin pie spice intensity by adding more or less to suit personal taste preferences, making the dessert uniquely yours.
- Dairy-Free Modification: Swap cream cheese with coconut cream or vegan cream cheese alternatives for a lactose-free version that maintains the rich, creamy texture.
- Perfect Golden Crust: Watch closely during the last few minutes of baking to achieve a uniform golden-brown color without burning the delicate crescent rolls.
