Pumpkin Spice Turnovers

Print Pin

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets of pre-made puff pastry
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin pie spice flavored chocolate chips white chocolate can be substituted

Instructions

  • Start by adding pumpkin puree to a large bowl, followed by cream cheese, two eggs, pumpkin spice, vanilla bean paste, and sugar. Mix it all together with a hand mixer. If you want a smoother filling, mix the cream cheese and sugar together first. Place the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a cutting board and unfold your puff pastry on it. Then cut it into 4 smaller squares. Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet and put 1 tbsp pumpkin spice flavored chocolate chips on half of them. Follow that with 2 tbsp of your pumpkin mixture.
  • Whisk the remaining egg with a little water to create an egg wash. Then brush a little egg wash around all 4 sides of the puff pastry. Place the empty piece of puff pasty on top of your turnover and press down gently with your fingers to make it stick to the other piece. Then use a fork to help crimp the ends together.
  • Use a sharp paring knife to cut a few vent holes on the top layer and then brush the top with a little melted butter. I like adding a little raw sugar to the top and a little more pumpkin spice.
  • Place the turnovers in a Bull Grill that has been preheated to medium high or around 400°. Let them bake for around 20 minutes total. I normally turn them around about halfway through and if the tops are a looking a little done I cover them with foil. Be sure the puff pastry cooks completely through, if it needs more time lower the heat slightly and allow to cook longer. Remove them from the heat and enjoy them warm.
