Cream Cheese Pumpkin Puffs
These bite-size puffs of pumpkin goodness have got a lot going for them, but pie-construction is not one of them. These could either be a quick appetizer or the easiest dessert ever!

Ingredients
- 1 package Puff Pastry Cups not shells, not sheets
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup pumpkin canned, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 2 tablespoons
- pecan halves to garnish
Instructions
- Bake the pastry cups according to package directions. I followed the egg wash instructions, but you can totally skip that step.
- Poke a hole in the center of each puff with the end of a wooden spoon and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl or stand mixer beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and powdered sugar.
- Spoon the mixture into the cooled cups. Or you can pipe them in: I like to place a ziplock in a cup and spoon the filling into the cup. Then snip a corner and pipe (see photo).
- Garnish with a pecan half, toasted if you have time.
- These taste really good with cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on top!

Notes
- Feel free to add whatever amount of spices you like. It's really just according to taste!
