Pumpkin Turnovers With Cream Cheese Frosting

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (or pumpkin pie spice). Mix until smooth and well combined.

Roll out the store-bought puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet into 4 squares (or 6 if you want smaller turnovers).

Place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and a tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the turnovers to give them a golden color when baked.

Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed.

While the turnovers are baking, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Once the turnovers have cooled, drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the tops.
