Cream Cheese Pumpkin Puffs
These bite-size puffs of pumpkin goodness have got a lot going for them, but pie-construction is not one of them. These could either be a quick appetizer or the easiest dessert ever!

Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry cups (not shells, not sheets)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup pumpkin (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 g inger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (+ 2 tablespoons )
- Pecan halves (to garnish)
Steps
-
Bake the pastry cups according to package directions. I followed the egg wash instructions, but you can totally skip that step.
-
Poke a hole in the center of each puff with the end of a wooden spoon and let cool.
-
Meanwhile, in large bowl or stand mixer beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and powdered sugar.
-
Spoon the mixture into the cooled cups. Or you can pipe them in: I like to place a ziplock in a cup and spoon the filling into the cup. Then snip a corner and pipe (see photo).
-
Garnish with a pecan half, toasted if you have time.
-
These taste really good with cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on top!
