Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, slightly roll out one thawed puff pastry sheet.
  4. Cut sheet into 6 rectangles.
  5. Transfer the rectangles to the prepared baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk until fully combined.
  7. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the puff pastry rectangles with the egg mixture.
  8. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over each rectangle.
  9. Bake puff pastry for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
Pumpkin Whipped Cream:
  1. While the puff pastry is baking, work on the whipped cream. Add heavy cream, sugar and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high until soft peaks form the whipped cream can hold its shape. Add the pumpkin puree and beat to combine. The whipped cream is done when it reaches stiff peaks and it can hold its shape.
  2. Add whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
  3. Cut puff pastry rectangles in half, pipe pumpkin whipped cream onto the bottom part and top with the other half of the puff pastry rectangle.
  4. Preferably refrigerate before serving, for the whipped cream to harden a bit.
  5. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. These are best served the same day.
