 Ingredients List

  • 4 cans crescent rolls
  • 2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 5/8 cup sugar (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon*, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice*
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg*
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger*
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling
  • caramel sauce and ice cream for serving
  • *or substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for these spices.

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, and beat to combine. Cover this and chill it while you prepare your dough.

3. Unroll one can of crescent baking sheet dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to around 9 x 12 inches. Cut it using a pizza cutter into 9 squares, roughly 3 x 4 inches each. Place the squares into wells of the mini muffin tins, skipping a well between each. Gently push the squares down into the well. Spoon a heaping spoonful of the pumpkin mixture into each well and pinch the corners of the dough together around it, twisting at the top to close.

4. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until browned (let them get good and golden or they”™ll still be doughy in the middle.) Remove from the oven and top with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Let them cool in the pan for around 5 minutes before serving them in a bowl with heaping scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and caramel drizzle.
