PUMPKIN CREAM CRESCENTS by CK
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree; not canned pumpkin pie filling.
1/3 cup Cream Cheese; softened
2 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Cinnamon Sugar mixture
1 egg
Tube of refrigerated crescent rolls
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with the softened cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is a room temperature before adding it to the pumpkin.
Add the sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerator crescent rolls and separate each one.
Spread about 1 tbsp of the pumpkin puree/cream cheese mixture on top of each crescent roll.
Beginning at the bigger end, roll up the crescent rolls and place on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper. Tuck the ends of the crescent rolls under so the filling doesn’t leak out while baking.
Brush each crescent roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
Let cool slightly before enjoying.
