  • Use very soft cream cheese: The filling of this dessert is made from cream cheese as the basis for a creamy texture and a spicy taste for meets. Make sure that the cream cheese is very soft before performing the filling. This avoids unwanted lumps and bumps and ensures smooth filling.
  • Use 100% pumpkin puree: In the baking gang you can see the pumpkin disc fill filling next to the pumpkin puree. Skip the filling (added with sugar and spices) and use unsweetened, 100% pumpkin puree -it offers better control over the texture and taste of your pumpkin delicacies.

Simple changes

  • Sports you on: I choose a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg to improve the taste of the pumpkin in these rods. However, you can surely use pumpkin concooking spice or a courageous combination of spices by increasing the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg and involving allspice and ginger.
  • Add a topping: These bars can certainly be alone, but there are many ways to further disguise them. Drizzle the tips with a cinnamon glaze or caramel sauce. Dust the top with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for easier touch.
