Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Pumpkins

  • 2 sheets puff pastry

Pumpkin Whipped Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the puff pastry pumpkins.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Unfold the puff pastry sheets carefully to prevent tearing. Using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut out pumpkin shapes from the sheets.
  3. Bake the Pumpkins: Arrange the pumpkin cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  4. Make the Pumpkin Whipped Cream: While the pumpkins bake, combine whipping cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat until the mixture is fluffy and light, about 5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Pumpkins: Once baked, remove the puff pastry pumpkins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each pumpkin horizontally in half. Spoon or pipe the pumpkin whipped cream mixture onto one half, then top with the other half.
  6. Decorate: Use chocolate chips to create eyes on the top half of each pumpkin, giving your treats a fun and festive look.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is chilled before cutting to prevent sticking and tearing.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whipping cream with coconut cream.
  • Serve immediately after assembly to keep the puff pastry crisp.
  • Chocolate chips can be replaced with raisins or small candied pieces for decoration.
