Fall is all about creating a feeling of warmth and comfort. The aroma of warm spices, roasted pumpkins, simmering soups, creates that comforting ambiance.

Though after shifting to Dubai the seasons that we got to enjoy are pleasant summer, summer, extreme summer, and a tiny winter, I try to enjoy all the seasons I saw growing up in India by creating a similar environment at my home.

So, even when the average temperature in Dubai is around 40°C these days, I have started cooking my fall recipes which you are seeing on my blog too. 

And, today I am sharing another very easy vegetarian fall recipe- Pumpkin puff pastry with cream cheese. This delicious puff pastry has a flaky, crunchy cover and warm, creamy filling of pumpkin and cream cheese. It's very easy to make and gets ready within 30 minutes.

Ingredients required and substitute suggestions

This pumpkin puff pastry needs only 8 ingredients which are very easily available everywhere.

  1. Cream cheese (softened)- Vegans may skip it and make it with just pumpkin filling.
  2. Pumpkin puree- both homemade and store-bought are fine.
  3. Powdered sugar
  4. Pumpkin pie spice- Homemade/ store-bought
  5. Vanilla extract
  6. Brown sugar- Light/ dark both are fine. Normal white sugar can be used too.
  7. Puff pastry square- You can also take a puff pastry sheet and cut it into squares of the desired size.
  8. Milk

Making pumpkin pie spice at home

If you don't have pumpkin pie spice no need to go to the market for buying. Just mix the following spices and your homemade pumpkin spice is ready:

  • Cinnamon powder:  4 teaspoons
  • Ginger powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Cloves powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg powder: ยฝ teaspoon
  • Ground allspice mix: ยฝ teaspoon

This will yield around 2.5 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice

Tips for the recipe

  • The quantity of sugar used in the recipe may vary depending upon the sweetness of your pumpkin and your taste preference.
  • You can also make these puffs without cream cheese if you like.
  • Chocolate lovers may also drizzle chocolate sauce on top instead of sugar glaze.
  • Don't drizzle the glaze on hot puffs.

    I think you meant 400 degrees not 200. After 15 mins it is still raw at 200.
