Layer paper towels, spoon the pumpkin puree on top, and press lightly to remove excess moisture. This helps keep the pastry crisp. (Bold tip: don\u2019t skip draining.)<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Heat the oven. Preheat to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Mix the pumpkin filling. Whisk drained pumpkin with egg yolk, both sugars, cornstarch, spices, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Whip the cream cheese filling. Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until creamy and light.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Prep the dough. Unroll the crescent dough, press seams closed to make 4 rectangles, then cut each rectangle in half so you have eight squares. Stretch each square slightly.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Fill. Add about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese to the center of each square, then top with ~1 tablespoon of pumpkin filling. Don\u2019t overfill.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Seal into balls. Pinch the edges together tightly to enclose the filling; roll gently into a ball.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Make pumpkin ribs. Wrap each ball loosely with kitchen twine in 6\u20138 segments to create the pumpkin ridges. (Tie gently so the dough can expand.)<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Bake. Place seam-side down on the sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake 18\u201322 minutes until the dough is deep golden.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Finish. Cool a few minutes, snip and remove the twine, then insert a pretzel stick (or pecan half \/ cinnamon stick) as the stem.
