Light, flaky puff pastry filled with a creamy pumpkin whipped filling—these Puff Pastry Pumpkins are festive, fun, and irresistibly delicious without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 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 & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut the Pastry

  • Unfold puff pastry sheets.
  • Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out pumpkin shapes.

3. Bake

  • Place pastry pumpkins on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and puffed.

4. Make the Filling

  • In a large bowl, combine whipping cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Beat with a mixer for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.

5. Assemble

  • Let pastries cool slightly.
  • Slice each pumpkin in half horizontally.
  • Spoon or pipe pumpkin cream onto the bottom half.
  • Place the top half back on.

6. Decorate (Optional)

  • Add chocolate chips for eyes or other fun decorations.

Notes

  • Work with cold pastry: Keeps layers flaky and well-defined
  • Don’t overfill: Prevents the filling from spilling out
  • Cool before assembling: Avoid melting the whipped filling
