Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin butter
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Carefully separate the dough into individual triangular sections.
- Spread a generous layer of pumpkin butter evenly across each crescent dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the pumpkin butter, distributing them evenly across the surface of each dough triangle.
- Starting from the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, creating a loose crescent shape.
- Gently twist each rolled crescent to create a spiral effect, ensuring the chocolate chips and pumpkin butter remain inside.
- Place the twisted crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each pastry.
- Brush the surface of each twisted pastry with the beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny finish.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of each pastry for added sweetness and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of pumpkin butter, chocolate chips, and flaky crescent dough.
Tips
- Chill the Dough: If your crescent roll dough is warm, consider chilling it in the fridge for about 10 minutes before rolling. This will make it easier to handle and help it maintain its shape while baking.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark, milk, or even white chocolate. You can also add nuts or dried fruit for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Perfect the Twist: When twisting the dough, be gentle to avoid tearing. The goal is to create a beautiful spiral that showcases the delicious filling inside.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your pastries around the 20-minute mark. You want them to be golden brown and flaky, but not overbaked.
- Serve Warm: These twists are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while they’re still warm. Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
