Upside Down Pumpkin Cheesecake Pastries
Enjoy these pumpkin cheesecake upside down puff pastries made with puff pastry and pumpkin puree as a fun fall treat this time of year! My pumpkin spin on the TikTok viral upside down puff pastry trend.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar + more for dusting on top
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup honey, divided
Instructions
- Bring the puff pastry and cream cheese to room temperature. Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge until pliable.
- Use a hand held mixer to combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, confectioners' sugar, egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice and salt together. Set aside.
- Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 squares.
- Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of honey on the parchment lined baking sheet and then add about 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture directly on top covering the honey. Add one puff pastry square on top and repeat with remaining puff pastry squares.
- Use a fork to stamp down the sides of the puff pastry. Brush egg wash over each puff pastry and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before using a spatula to gently flip over the puff pastries. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and enjoy right away!
Notes
These are best served right out of the oven, but you could air fry them to re-warm if they've been out for a while.
