Easy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll Recipe

When it comes to holiday baking, there are a few tried and true favourites that my family absolutely can’t live without.

Benjamin always requests his favourite No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. And Zackary and my husband are both fans of my foolproof Butterscotch Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies.

But personally, my favourite holiday treats must have my favourite holiday ingredient…Philadelphia Cream Cheese!

The smooth, tangy taste of Philly is good for so much more than just cheesecake. And that’s why my holiday baking always includes this scrumptious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll. It’s easy, looks fancy and tastes absolutely divine!

For me, the best thing about this roll is that it’s so quick. With about half an hour of work and baking time, you’ll have a tasty treat the whole family will love.

Of course, the rolled cake does have to cool before being filled, so make sure to factor that time in as well. In a pinch, popping it in the fridge will have it ready to unroll and fill in no time.

I’ve often made my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll without walnuts as well, so if you’re cooking for somebody with nut allergies, just leave them out.

The roll looks just as pretty without them, and will still wow with its creamy Philly filling.

If you just can’t get enough cream cheese, try this potluck-sized Cookies & Cream cheesecake, too! Cut into small squares, it’s the perfect addition to a holiday baking tray.

But whatever you decide to whip up, Philly is a great way to make sure that your desserts are a hit.
