Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 oz pumpkin puree, drained
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • 8 pieces pretzel sticks (for stems)

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 rectangles. Press seams together.
  4. Spoon filling onto center of each rectangle. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal, shaping into a ball.
  5. Use kitchen string to tie each ball loosely in cross-sections to resemble a pumpkin shape.
