This will make mixing easier. For a smooth mixture, beat the cream cheese first. Use a hand mixer or a fork. Add the pumpkin puree and sugars afterward. Mix until everything is creamy and well combined. To tell when the rolls are done, watch for a golden brown color. The edges should look crisp, and the filling should be warm. To avoid overcooking, set a timer for 12 minutes. Check the rolls after this time. If they need more time, bake for another 1-3 minutes. For creative serving, arrange the rolls on a nice plate. Dust them lightly with powdered sugar. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon for extra flair. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream on each roll. This adds a nice touch and makes them look inviting.

Just mix in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips with the cream cheese filling. You get a creamy and sweet flavor in every bite. If you want a nutty crunch, try adding chopped nuts. Pecans or walnuts work great. Just 1/4 cup will do. You can also play with spices. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of ground ginger. This adds a nice kick to the filling. Another option is to swap out pumpkin pie spice with apple pie spice. This will give a fresh twist to the taste. Want to try something different with the dough? You can use puff pastry instead of crescent dough. Puff pastry makes the rolls flaky and light. Just roll it out, cut it into triangles, and fill them like you would with the crescent dough.

Always check the package for baking instructions, as they may vary. Enjoy these fun twists on a classic treat! To keep your pumpkin spice cheesecake crescent rolls fresh, store them properly. - Refrigeration tips: Place the rolls in an airtight container. They last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. - Freezing instructions: Wrap each roll in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can stay frozen for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat them, thaw in the fridge overnight. You want these rolls warm and tasty when you eat them again. - Best methods for reheating leftover rolls: The oven works best. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and heat for about 10 minutes. This keeps the outside crisp and the inside warm. You can also use the microwave for a quick option. Heat each roll for about 15-20 seconds. Just be careful, as the microwave can make them a bit soft. Can I make these rolls ahead of time? Yes, you can prep these rolls ahead. Make the filling and fill the dough. Then, wrap them tightly and store in the fridge. Bake them later when you want a fresh treat. What can I substitute for cream cheese? You can use mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt. These options give a similar creamy texture. However, the taste will change a bit. How to make homemade pumpkin puree? To make pumpkin puree, start with a small sugar pumpkin. Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. Roast the halves cut-side down at 400°F until soft. Blend the flesh until smooth.
