Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 standard 8-ounce (227 g) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) canned pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (226 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (1530 ml) milk or cream
  • Optional toppings: cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon) or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if mixture is too thick.
  3. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles along pre-scored lines.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pumpkin filling near the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling. Pinch edges gently to seal.
  6. Place crescent roll bites on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or chopped pecans if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until bites are puffed and golden brown.
  8. While baking, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream until smooth and fluffy. Adjust consistency and sweetness as desired.
  9. Cool bites slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with cream cheese dip on the side.

Notes

Do not overfill the crescent rolls to prevent leaking during baking. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for a smoother dip. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Check bites at 12 minutes to avoid burning. Let bites cool slightly before serving to avoid burns. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain flakiness. Avoid microwaving.
