I’m really excited to share this recipe with you guys today.
It’s a recipe from my aunt that I wanted to share before Thanksgiving, so anyone searching for an amazing dessert recipe could try it out.
The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll is one of my all-time favorite holiday treats. The combo of cream cheese and pumpkin is a match made in heaven. I only let myself make it around the holidays, though, because it’s a bit heavy on the sugar, but it’s one of those indulgences you just have to give in to at this time of the year.
Not going to lie, I decided to bring most of it to work yesterday because I didn’t want it staring at me all week. A few pieces for us is enough, I figured. I have other sugary plans for Thanksgiving anyways. My love for baking is dangerous, especially at this time of year.
Without further ado…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll is one of my favorite fall desserts. It's full of flavor and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

What food do you look forward to the most every Thanksgiving? I’m usually all about the stuffing, which is funny because it’s one of the few things I’m not making this year.
Great picture! I would like to try this recipe someday.
Thanks! It’s one of my better food pictures, I’d say.
