Amish Pumpkin Roll With Cream Cheese Filling

Amish Pumpkin Roll

By Kevin Williams

Pumpkin pies is the star of autumn (our local restaurant chain, Frisch's, is known far and wide for their pumpkin ie) But there are other variations for enjoying the rich, autumn flavor of pumpkin:  squares, bars, brownies, bread, and, oh wow, this decadent wonderful recipe: homemade pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling.  This is something that you often find in Amish bakeries, especially this time of year.  This is a pumpkin roll that I picked up at an Amish bakery last week. The rich layer of cream cheese frosting swirled throughout the roll is a wonderful contrast to the flavorful pumpkin.  Wow, this is good!:)  I’d consider it as a pumpkin pie alternative on any Thanksgiving table or at least make it to enjoy sometime this fall.  The fiery orange pumpkins are at their peak in fields now and there is definitely a fall feel to the air. So this is a perfect time to enjoy this traditional Amish recipe!
