It’s that time of year for all things pumpkin. Are you ready? October first I can HARDLY believe it! If you’re like me, you’re wondering where in the world this year has GONE! Just like that. Poof. This month Halloween. Next month Thanksgiving. Then Christmas. They warned me about the years flying after I graduated high school and they weren’t kidding. When I was thinking about what I wanted to make with Rhodes for this fun festive post I was extra excited when I thought of these tasty little cream puffs. Anything drizzled in a sugary glaze is delicious right? I love that they have the added pumpkin twist to them. My favorite pumpkin recipes made with Rhodes are my: Mini Pumpkin Monkey Bites, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Rolls, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt! These are extra simple to put together and perfect for the whole family. If you’ve got kids, get them in the kitchen and have them help you make them!
I’m sharing these today over on the Rhodes Kids Baking Blog. Head on over see how simple these Glazed Pumpkin Cream Puffs are and make this a fun weekend activity for you and the kiddos. They’ll love helping in the kitchen and they will especially love tasting these adorable little treats. The only problem I see that you may have on your hands is they may want to eat them all up before you can have a chance to finish them all. My recommendation would be to turn on some fun music to dance around to in the kitchen to help distract them! Music in the kitchen is my JAM! Total pun intended! If that’s not your style you could always turn on a movie or something to help too. Whatever the case may be, this would be a great way to get some quality family time in together!

Glazed Pumpkin Cream Puffs
These Glazed Pumpkin Cream Puffs are little bites of heaven. But beware, you'll want to eat them all, so you must find some self control and share!
Ingredients
- 12 Rhodes Rolls thawed but still cold
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon milk plus more for desired consistency
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut rolls in half and shape into a ball. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
-
While rolls are cooling, prepare cream filling. Using your stand mixer, whip heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar & pumpkin pie spice until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in pumpkin puree being careful not to over mix.
-
Using your kitchen shears, cut an 'x' in the bottom of each roll. Fill a pastry bag with the cream filling and stuff each roll.
For your glaze
-
In a small bowl mis together powdered sugar, apple pie spice, and milk. Add more milk as necessary to reach a thin consistency, but not too runny. Dip each cream puff in the glaze and place on cooling rack to set up.
