Amish Pumpkin Roll With Cream Cheese Filling

Amish Pumpkin Roll

How about a pumpkin roll? Pumpkin pies will be found on supper tables throughout the country this month as the big Thanksgiving meal arrives. But there are other variations for enjoying pumpkin's rich, autumn flavor:  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.  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!

A pumpkin roll is great because it can be sliced and enjoyed and, perhaps, feeds more people than a pie.  The cream cheese frosting really adds a wonderful taste contrast.  The pumpkin roll is just something a little different for people who want to incorporate pumpkin traditions into Thanksgiving meals but maybe are tired of pie.
