Give me a pumpkin roll rather than pumpkin pie! I am not a fan of pie in any way. But, I still love pumpkin flavors and desserts.
One way I can still enjoy pumpkin for dessert on Thanksgiving is with a pumpkin roll. The combination of the pumpkin and cream cheese frosting….well…I’ll let you put your own taste buds to the test and let me know what you think!

- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour paper.

- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. (if using dark pan, begin checking for doneness around 11 minutes).
- Immediately loosen and turn cake out onto prepared towel. Peel off wax paper. Roll up the cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end. Cool completely.
- For filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Unroll cake and spread cream cheese filling over the cake. Re-roll cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
