Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 3 rolls crescent roll dough
Filling
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
Topping
- Orange royal icing (homemade or store bought)
- Fall leaf sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree using an electric or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Spices and Sugar: Mix in the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon sugar, and white sugar thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate Egg: Add one egg to the pumpkin mixture and mix well to create a smooth filling.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Fill and Roll Crescents: Starting at the large end of each crescent triangle, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin cream cheese filling into the center. Carefully roll the dough over the filling, pinching the sides to seal and continue rolling towards the narrow end.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the filled crescent rolls spaced evenly on a stoneware baking sheet or a metal sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Decorate: Once cooled, drizzle the crescent rolls with orange royal icing and sprinkle with fall leaf-themed sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- You can substitute store-bought pumpkin puree with homemade for fresher taste.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Seal crescent rolls well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and ease cleanup.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
