Mini Pumpkin Rolls

Delightfully soft mini pumpkin rolls filled with a creamy, tangy cream cheese filling — perfect for fall gatherings or festive desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread to the edges.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  8. While baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
  9. Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper.
  10. Starting at a short edge, gently roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Let cool completely.
  11. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  12. Unroll the cooled cake carefully, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
  13. Re-roll the cake without the towel and slice into mini rolls.
  14. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra festive touch, sprinkle the mini rolls with a dusting of cinnamon sugar or garnish with chopped pecans before serving.
