A simple and sweet pumpkin spice filled cream puffs recipe that creates a bite-sized dessert perfect for dinner parties or family get-togethers.

We’ve all had those moments when we just want something a little sweet without overdoing it. Sometimes that can be a real challenge. A lot of dessert recipes these days take things a little too far.

Even our recipes, like our Peanut Butter Lover’s Pie, can be a bit much. In an effort to provide a reasonable alternative, we decided to share a handheld treat that satisfies your cravings for a light dessert.

Before I get into the details of our recipe, let me state, I know these aren’t real cream puffs. The name of this dish is nothing more than a play on one of the ingredients.

Since I used a puff pastry sheet for the dough, we used the term cream puffs in the title. I just wanted to get that clarification out of the way before the professionals correct me.

Getting back to the dish, pumpkin pie is the main flavor. In fact, the filling tastes just like a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top.

That shouldn’t come as a surprise once you see the ingredient list.

Everything you enjoy about the traditional Thanksgiving treat goes into the filling.

The best part about the cream is that it’s nothing more than pumpkin spice flavored whipped topping.

There are only six ingredients you need to create this offering. The tricky part is injecting the puffs without destroying them.

Using a cupcake decorator with an injector tip is a great way to complete this step. The link to ours is listed below.

There aren’t any tips or tricks to this recipe. Simply take your time and make sure to let the puffs cool before injecting them.

Other than that, you shouldn’t have any issues making this one. In closing, I wish everyone a long life, love everlasting, and a tummy full of delicious treats!

  1. I love this time of year because of all of the pumpkin recipes! I know I maybe in the minority but I love them! I’m not that much of a baker but it seems pretty simple, I think I may try this one for my holiday party.
