Gluten-Free Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties (sweet)
Gluten-free Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties are easy to make and are the perfect themed dessert for your next Harry Potter event or movie night! Or make simple slits instead of a lightning-shaped vent, and add Pumpkin Pasties to your Thanksgiving dessert table.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Dough (If using Schar brand, make sure it is fully thawed.) or substitute two gluten-free pie crusts from my easy gluten-free crust recipe
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 oz cream cheese room temperature
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except the pastry/pie dough).
- Unroll 2 sheets of Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Dough. Dip fingertips in water and gently press together where cracked. (Roll out the pie dough, if substituting pie crust dough.)
- Use a 3 ½ -inch round cookie cutter to cut 9 circles from each sheet of pastry/pie dough.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling on each circle and carefully fold the puff pastry over the filling
- Seal the filling inside the pastry by pressing the edges together with a fork.
- Use a knife to cut Harry Potter's lightning scar into each pastie. (Cut simple slits if making pumpkin pasties without a Harry Potter theme.)
- Bake for approximately 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Schar's Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Dough requires a little bit of patience. Make sure it is thoroughly thawed. If the dough cracks, gently press it together with slightly wet fingertips.
Sweet Loren's Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Dough is sold in single sheet packs. Buy two, and keep refrigerated until ready to use. The dough is flexible and easy to shape. Increase the oven temperature to 425℉.
