Crescent Pumpkins with Cream Cheese and Pumpkin Pie Filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
    • In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Make the Pumpkin Filling
    • In a small bowl, mix pumpkin puree and cornstarch (add sugar and spices if desired).
    • Stir until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Crescent Pumpkins
    • Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
    • Cut a small triangle or strip from the wide end to use as the pumpkin stem.
    • Spoon a small amount of cream cheese filling in the center, then top with pumpkin pie filling.
    • Fold the sides over to create a “pumpkin” shape and pinch edges to seal.
    • Use the reserved dough strip to make a stem on top.
  5. Bake
    • Place filled crescents on the baking sheet.
    • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Serve
    • Let cool slightly.
    • Optional: drizzle with caramel, sprinkle chopped nuts, or add mini chocolate chips for extra decoration.

Tips

  • For perfectly shaped pumpkins, don’t overfill the crescents.
  • Serve warm for soft, gooey centers.
  • These are great for Halloween parties, brunch, or fall-themed treats.
