Ingredients for the Pumpkin Cheesecake Roll:
1 (8-inch) sponge cake or roulade
2 cups pumpkin puree
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large eggs
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sponge Cake:
If using a store-bought sponge cake, ensure it’s leveled evenly. If making your own, bake it fresh and let it cool completely.
2. Make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until fully combined.
3. Incorporate Eggs:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed before adding the next.
4. Assemble the Roll:
Spread the pumpkin cheesecake mixture evenly over the sponge cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Roll it Up:
Starting from one of the shorter ends, gently roll the cake into a tight log. Place the roll seam-side down on a serving plate.
6. Chill the Roll:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Dust with powdered sugar before slicing. Add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Cheesecake Roll:
Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience, or make your own for a richer flavor.
Chill thoroughly for easy slicing and perfect presentation.
Sprinkle with additional cinnamon or drizzle with caramel sauce for added flair.
