Flaky crescent roll twists filled with sweet pumpkin and spice, topped with a luscious cream cheese icing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can 8 oz crescent rolls
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and lay it down as 4 rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spread the pure pumpkin puree evenly onto 2 of the rectangles.
  5. Place the other 2 plain crescent rectangles directly on top of the pumpkin-covered ones.
  6. Press the edges of the stacked rectangles together firmly to seal them.
  7. Brush the melted butter on top of both rectangular dough sections.
  8. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice evenly over the buttered dough.
  9. Using a pizza cutter, cut each of the two large rectangles into 6 individual strips.
  10. Take each strip and twist it a few times to create a spiral shape.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice over the twisted strips.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. While the twists are baking, prepare the cream cheese icing.
  14. In a large bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  15. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  16. Beat in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  17. Fill a zip-lock bag with the prepared cream cheese icing.
  18. Lock the zip-lock bag shut, ensuring no air escapes.
  19. Snip off a small corner of the bag to create a piping opening.
  20. Once the pumpkin pie twists have cooled slightly, ice the tops of each twist with the cream cheese icing.
  21. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth icing.
Do not overfill with pumpkin puree; a thin layer is best.
Watch twists closely during baking as ovens vary.
Allow twists to cool slightly before icing to prevent melting.
