Maple Pumpkin Napoleons

by megan on October 28, 2008

I decided to use up the rest of the puff pastry for a dessert treat. I found a great recipe for maple pumpkin cannoli filling and decided to use that to create a Napoleon dessert. The cannoli filling recipe calls for Stonewall Kitchen’s Maple Pumpkin Butter (of course the butter has already made it’s way into my oatmeal). I also experimented with using cookie cutters to imprint designs on the tops of the pastries.

Maple Pumpkin Cannoli Filling
from Stonewall Kitchen
1-cup ricotta cheese, strain off excess liquid
1/2 cup Stonewall Kitchen Maple Pumpkin Butter
2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
Directions
Combine the ricotta cheese, Stonewall Kitchen Maple Pumpkin Butter, and confectioners’ sugar. Mix until uniform. Chill in the refrigerator 2-4 hours.

I love using ricotta in desserts! :)

You have to try the spicy oatmeal – if you like spicy/salty – you can’t go wrong! Let me know what you think!!

YUM.

I’m really curious to make a savory pumkin stuffed pasta and I think this might just be the base for it!! (well maybe minus so much sugar…maybe)
