These 10 Minute Pumpkin Croissants are a quick and delicious treat made with just four simple ingredients. Softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree are sweetened and spread over flaky crescent dough, then baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a cozy fall breakfast or snack, these croissants combine creamy, sweet pumpkin flavor with a buttery pastry in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar (divided into 1/4 cup for filling and 1/4 cup for topping)

Dough

  • 2 tubes (8 oz each) Pillsbury Crescent Dough

Optional

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Gather all your ingredients. Leave the cream cheese at room temperature to soften for easier mixing.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Stir until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fill the Dough: Open the Pillsbury Crescent Dough tubes and separate into triangles. Spread a generous amount of the pumpkin-cream cheese mixture over each triangle, then roll each one up starting from the wide end to the narrow tip, forming croissants.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled croissants onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the croissants for a shiny glaze (optional). Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar evenly over the tops for a sweet crust.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the croissants for about 15 minutes or until they have puffed up and turned a beautiful golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • You can use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar amount by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • The egg wash is optional but helps achieve a golden, glossy finish on the croissants.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese with a vegan alternative and ensure crescent dough is dairy-free.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
