FAQs
Can I freeze these crescent rolls?
Yes, you can freeze unbaked crescent rolls after filling and rolling. Place them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?
It’s best to use plain pumpkin puree, as canned pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sweeteners that may alter the flavor and texture when mixed with cream cheese.
