Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crescents

You are going to love these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crescents! They are the perfect treat with a cup of tea on a beautiful Fall day. 

You can even serve them for breakfast or brunch if you’re having overnight guests.

The other day I made my recipe for 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Bread that doesn’t use a full can of pumpkin puree. I put the extra pumpkin puree into a small container and placed it on a shelf in the back of the refrigerator.

A few days later I remembered that container and decided to try something new.  I combined the pumpkin puree with some cream cheese and sugar. Next, I rolled the mixture up in refrigerator crescent dough. 

If I was making these again, I would definitely double the recipe.  That’s right, get two cans of crescent rolls!  You’ll thank me that you doubled the recipe and your family will thank YOU for finding a new pumpkin recipe to add to the menu!

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before adding it to the mixing bowl.
• You also need to make sure you tuck the ends of the crescent rolls under so the pumpkin cheesecake mixture doesn’t leak out while baking. 
• Cinnamon sugar is available at any grocery store.
• However, it’s very easy to make homemade by combining 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
