Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 oz full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp white granulated sugar (divided)
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin purée
- ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice (divided)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 oz full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- ½ tbsp milk
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, foil, or a silicone mat.
- 2
Whip cream cheese and 2 tbsp sugar until softened and smooth. Then add pumpkin purée, ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and evenly combined.

Open, unroll, and separate dough from both cans of crescent rolls. Place about 2 tsp of pumpkin filling onto the middle of the widest part of the dough. Use a spoon or spatula to schmear it towards the tip, leaving a border around the edges.

Starting at the widest end, tightly roll each one at an angle so the tip ends up in the center. Place each roll onto the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one, and fold ends in to form a crescent moon shape.

Brush each crescent roll with melted butter. Then in a small bowl, mix together ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice and ¾ tsp sugar. Sprinkle mixture on top of the crescent rolls.

Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Add more milk until the frosting is drizzable. Once the crescent rolls are cooled, drizzle frosting over the top or serve on the side.
