Description

Soft crescent-roll bites stuffed with creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling and rolled in cinnamon sugar — a cozy fall treat made in the air fryer in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cans, 8 oz each refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for the filling
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for coating
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar, for coating

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with the pumpkin puree until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar until fully combined.
  • Unroll one can of crescent rolls and pinch the seams together to form a solid sheet. Slice into 8 rough squares.
  • Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the center of each square.
  • Pinch and roll the dough around the filling into a sealed ball, making sure the seams are pinched shut.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Add about 8 donut holes in a single layer and cook at 350°F for about 5 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Add 1–2 minutes if needed.
  • While still warm, roll the donut holes in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. Repeat with the remaining can of crescent rolls and filling.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Don't overfill or the filling may leak; pinch the seams tightly.
  • Cook in a single layer without crowding for even browning.
  • Oven option: Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
  • Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
  • Reheat: Air fry at 300°F for 2–3 minutes.
