They’re easy to make and bake into golden, bite-sized pastries that are perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 3 tubes Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls

Filling

  • 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crescent Dough: Roll out each refrigerated crescent roll and cut each lengthwise in half to create smaller triangular pieces.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, canned pumpkin, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and creamy.
  3. Fill Crescents: Spread a scant half teaspoon to one teaspoon of the pumpkin cream cheese mixture onto each crescent triangle, ensuring not to overfill to avoid messiness when rolling.
  4. Roll Up: Carefully roll each crescent piece starting from the wide end towards the tip, forming the mini croissants.
  5. Coat with Sugar Spice Mix: In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Roll each mini pumpkin pie croissant in this mixture to coat the outside for added flavor and sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the coated croissants on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and texture.
  • Do not overfill the crescent dough to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • You can optionally dust the finished croissants with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  • Cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
