You will need these ingredients:

  • Cream Cheese- to create a soft smooth center
  • Sugar– adds all the sweetness

  • Salt– without a pinch of salt, the flavor might be flat or cloyingly sweet 
  • Pumpkin Spice– to punch up the taste
  • Pumpkin Puree- the base of this recipe
  • Vegetable Oil add depth of flavor, and a silky quality
  • Cooking Spray- so nothing sticks
