Swirls of sweet pumpkin filling and puff pastry, drizzled with cream cheese icing, make this Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pull-Apart Puff Pastry the perfect fall dessert to share with friends and family. It's easy to make with ready-made gluten-free puff pastry and a few simple ingredients.
In a small bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Sweet Loren's Gluten-Free Puff Pastry includes a sheet of parchment paper.)
Use a spatula to spread the pumpkin filling on top of the puff pastry rectangle.
Roll the long side of the puff pastry to form a log.
Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 slices, cutting about ¾ of the way through the log for each slice, leaving the base of the log un-cut. Gently roll each slice slightly to the left or right, in an alternating pattern.
Bake at 425℉ for approximately 20 minutes, until golden. Carefully, slide the pastry and parchment paper onto a wire rack to cool for approximately 5 minutes before icing and serving.
Cream Cheese Icing
In a small bowl, use a hand mixer to mix all icing ingredients until smooth.
Drizzle icing on top of the pumpkin pull-apart puff pastry and serve.
Notes
Please read the instructions on your gluten-free puff pastry package. This recipe was tested with Sweet Loren's Gluten Free Puff Pastry, which must be refrigerated until ready to use. (I do not recommend Schar Gluten Free Puff Pastry for this recipe due to the dough cracking and making it difficult for the pull-apart rolls to hold together while shaping.)Gluten Free Puff Pastry Guide: https://www.goglutenfreely.com/gluten-free-puff-pastry/Dairy-Free Option: In the icing, omit cream cheese and reduce water to 1 teaspoon, or substitute non-dairy cream cheese.
