Fall is still in full swing, and these mini pumpkin pie crescents are the perfect fall dessert to serve. These non-traditional pumpkin pies are perfect for a light and easy dessert for any meal!

Pumpkin recipes are my favorite, and these mini pumpkin pie crescents are at the top of the list. I like that I can make these without having to make the everyday pumpkin pie recipe.

Don’t get me wrong, pumpkin pie is delicious, but there is always time to try different versions of the Thanksgiving dessert that everyone knows and loves.

You can also make these up ahead and even freeze them if you need to! They will reheat well. I love to serve these will a generous amount of whipped cream (it’s a problem how much whipped cream I like) after heating it and it is just divine.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, you should give a few of my other perfect holiday pies a try. I love to serve Caramel PecanTurtle Pumpkin Pie, Disney’s Apple Caramel Pie, and you can never go wrong with our Frozen Peanut Butter Cloud Pie!

How To Make Our Mini Pumpkin Pie Crescents:

Filling ingredients for Mini Pumpkin Pie Crescents in a glass mixing bowl

Then in a medium-sized bowl combine the softened cream cheese, canned pumpkin, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and beat it together until the mixture is nice and fluffy.

After that is done, that is going to be your pumpkin filling. Set it aside for now.

Then roll out the crescent rolls and each crescent roll in half lengthwise.

Once that is done, put 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie filling on each of the crescent rolls and spread it over about half of the roll.

Now roll each of the crescent rolls up starting with the widest end until it is completely rolled up.

(Don’t worry if they are messy, they are going to be delicious!) Do this with all 32 rolls.

Then, in a small bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Love Comes In the Form of a Crescent Roll

Okay, that might be a little too much, but I truly do love a good crescent roll. When they come out of the oven I love to cut them open slightly and put some butter in them. So tasty. Plus they are so versatile for dinner recipes or desserts!

They might seem like they can be a hard thing to make, Taste of Home has a great recipe for Buttery Crescent Rolls that you should try out if you’d like to try making your own crescent rolls instead of refrigerated ones.

Can You Use Pumpkin Pie Filling?

I would not suggest using pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. You will not get the flavor that you want from the dish, plus this recipe is simple enough that you only need to add a couple of extra ingredients and get a lot better flavor for the mini pumpkin pies.
