Ingredients

  • 2 packages Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls

Pumpkin Filling

Cream Cheese

Streusel Filling

Icing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375º

Pumpkin Filling

  • In a medium bowl, add pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and milk. Mix well.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • Beat softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Add the egg, sugar, lemon and vanilla. Beat until combined.

Streusel Filling

  • In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and flour. Cut with two forks or with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Place the first crescent roll sheet down on a floured surface. Pinch the perforations together and roll dough out. Measure out a little over 1-inch strips. Cut with a pizza cutter or sharp knife horizontally. (You should have 6-7 strips.)
  • Then cut down the center making 12-14 equal strips.
  • Place one strip in front of you and cover the strip with cream cheese filling.
  • Then place a strip of pumpkin filling over the cream cheese.
  • Crumble a small amount of streusel on top of the pumpkin filling.
  • Place one of the remaining strips over the top of the streusel.
  • Take the two strips together, and twist together 3-4 times.
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat until all the strips are made.
  • Bake for 13 minutes.
  • Remove from the baking sheet and place on a cooling rack.

Icing

  • In a small bowl, stir powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together.
  • Once the twists have cooled, drizzle icing over the tops. Makes 12-14 twists.

Notes

Tips
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
  • Don’t overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
  • Twist tightly so they hold their shape.
  • Let cool before icing so the glaze sets nicely.
