Calories 132 kcal
Ingredients
Dough
4 cups part skim mozzarella shredded
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla stevia
4 eggs beaten
Filling
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice liquid stevia
1 tbsp sugar free maple syrup skip if you don”t have it and use more stevia to taste
Optional drizzle: 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners with 1 tbsp coconut milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Add all ingredients for the dough into the food processor, then add to a microwavable bowl and microwave for 2 minutes or until nicely melted.

Wet hands with water and spread the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

I made mine 16 x 11 inch rectangle. Set aside.

In a bowl mix the pumpkin, yolk, spice and sweeteners.
Spread this filling all over the dough.
Fold the dough over in half then slice 18 slices with an oiled pizza cutter.
Separate slices about an inch apart. You may need two baking sheets with parchment as the twists will spread slightly when baking.
Hold each end of each slice and gently twist once.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Cool then make the optional glaze if desired before serving.

Brenda’s Notes:

You can use any dough you prefer but the nutrition info below reflects using my dough linked in the recipe.
You can use any sweetener you prefer as well. Simply do not add the yolk, add the sweetener of choice first, probably just 1/4 cup to start then taste and adjust. Once you’ve got the filling to your desired sweetness add the egg yolk.
I kept these refrigerated although I don’t think it’s necessary but I prefer them chilled.
