Fall Time, Cozy Sweaters, Warm Pie, Crunchy Leaves, and all things PUMPKIN oh my! I don’t know about you but I am one of those basic pumpkin lovin girls in the fall time. And I have absolutely no shame! These Pumpkin Danishes are the perfect treat or even breakfast to help you get your Fall fix!
This is actually one of my all time favorite recipes to date. I made them for the first time last year when I was craving a blend of a cream cheese danish and some pumpkin pie! I have no self control when it comes to either one of those delicacies. So if you love pumpkin pie and you love pastries then these Pumpkin Pie Danishes (or Fancy Pumpkin Toaster Strudels as my husband likes to call them) are for you!
These are pretty simple to make and oh will they give you all the Fall feels. Pastries and Pumpkin. What more could a gal want!? Try them for yourself and you won’t be disappointed! Shasta surely wasn’t!

Pumpkin Pie Danish
These yummy Pumpkin Pie Danishes are the perfect way to kick start your Fall with all of the pumpkin flavor you love in an easy, handheld pastry!
Ingredients
- 2 Puff Pastry Sheets (Usually comes 2 to a box)
- 1 can of Pumpkin (Not Pumpkin Pie Filling)
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 Tbsp Pumpkin Spice
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp Water
- For Glaze:
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 2/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Milk
- Tools:
- 1 Ziploc or Icing bag
Directions
- Step 1 Take out your 2 sheets of Puff Pastry and let them thaw for 15 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
- Step 2 Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 3 Beat together 4 oz of cream cheese, 1 can of pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then set it aside.
- Step 4 Unfold and roll out your puff pastry dough to 12 x 9 inches on your floured surface. You will need to do this for both puff pastry sheets.
- Step 5 Once rolled out, take 1 puff pastry sheet and cut the dough in half. Then cut each half into 3 rectangles. You should end up with a total of 6 rectangles. Repeat these steps for your second sheet of puff pastry dough.
- Step 6 Score each puff pastry leaving half of an inch on each side. Do not cut all the way through the pastry. This helps the outer edges of the pastry rise around the filling.
- Step 7 Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Place your danishes on the baking sheets
- Step 8 Spread 1 ½ Tablespoons of the pumpkin filling in the middle of each danish. You are wanting to keep it off of the outer edges that you just scored.
- Step 9 Whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of water for the egg wash. Brush the outer edges of each danish with the egg wash.
- Step 10 Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
- Step 11 Let the danishes cool for 10 minutes
- Step 12 To make the Glaze, start by beating 4 oz of cream cheese. Then combine it with your powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until it is smooth.
- Step 13 Place the glaze in a ziploc bag and cut the corner of the bag. Drizzle the glaze across your Pumpkin Pie Danishes.
- Step 14 Serve and Enjoy! 🙂
