Parke County Pumpkin-Cream Cheese Roll Gluten-Free & Low-Carb Recipe from CarbSmart Low-Carb & Gluten-Free Fall and Winter Entertaining (1)

Gluten-Free & Low-Carb Recipe From CarbSmart Low-Carb & Gluten-Free Holiday Entertaining

The first time I tasted these rolls, I was cycling with my newish-husband through the gorgeous orange and red hills at the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival of Parke County Indiana–I say “of” because the festival is the entire county; bikes are faster because traffic backs up way out in the middle of nowhere as people come to see the county’s 30+ covered bridges at the peak of fall color.

Probably 10 minutes by car from the nearest hamlet, a woman set up a yard sale in front of her farmhouse and was allowing people to sample her pumpkin rolls. I saw people leaving with several rolls each, and her husband hustling back into their freezer as people requested them. They are so wonderful, and have become a tradition all over the Midwest!

Of course, she wouldn’t give me her recipe, but she did give me a general idea of how to make them. I worked to recreate it, and with my low-carb recipe, now it’s on our holiday table. And at tailgate parties. And sometimes just because. This is a FREE recipe from cookbook.

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • Roll Ingredients
  • Coconut oil or grass-fed butter for greasing pan
  • 6 pastured eggs, room temperature, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling!)
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • Equivalent of 1 1/4 cup of sugar in stevia/erythritol blend
  • Vanilla whey protein powder, to line the linen cloth
  • Filling Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • Equivalent of 1/2 cup sugar in stevia/erythritol blend
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300° F.
  2. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and then wipe down with a bit of coconut oil or butter using the corner of a piece of paper towel.
  3. In a stand mixer or blender, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar to the stiff peak stage, about 5 minutes.
  4. While that’s happening, in a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, cream cheese, pumpkin, spices, and vanilla extract. You can use a hand blender for this because most of us don’t have two blenders, and because if the cream cheese is truly room temperature, it will be very soft.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whites into the yolk mixture until they are combined.
  6. Bake 30 minutes. Pull it out of the oven, put it on a wire rack and let it cool for 20 minutes. Roll the cake into a linen towel sprinkled with whey protein powder. Let it stand for 1 hour, during which time you can finish softening the butter and cream cheese for the filling.
  7. Use your blender to combine the filling ingredients, just at the end of the cooling hour.
  8. Unroll the cake and spread the mixed filling. Re-roll, without the linen! Now wrap it in waxed paper, and then foil, and refrigerate it 2-3 hours before serving. You can refrigerate this for 2-3 days, and it also freezes well.

Notes

Be sure to bring everything to room temperature. It won’t mix properly if it’s colder.
Also, make sure that you’re using block cream cheese, not the tubs. There’s too much air in the whipped tubs, as well as additives.

Low Carb Menu Planning 101: Part 2

One of my earliest memories is of my mother planning menus. She'd sit down with the sales circulars from the nearby groceries and see what was on sale, chiefly checking to see what meats were cheap. Sometimes this meant we got something great like her Swedish meatballs, chicken teriyaki, or even steaks. Sometimes it meant we were stuck eating fish balls, or An Experiment Whose Name Must Not Be Mentioned.

    This sounds so good! I’m new to the low carb diet and am dying with all the pumpkin bread/muffin items going around my office this time of year (which are not low carb)! Can you substitute the Vanilla whey protein powder with something else? It sounds relish, but I don’t have it and am not sure what else I would use it for….although i do see myself making this more than once…. 🙂

    This looks really good but in the instructions you simply say bake 30 minutes. Do we spread the batter on the jelly pan and how thick? Sorry to ask but I never made a rolled cake before. Thanks!

      Yes, sorry! You do spread it on, using up all the batter. Jelly roll pans are a standard size, so just spread it all on there and try to keep it an even thickness. If you have a cake decorating spatula, that really helps to keep it even.

      Good luck and enjoy!

    The function is to keep the roll from sticking to the cloth. You could use arrowroot powder. You won’t be using a lot, in any case. The usual recipes use wheat flour, but I made this both low-carb and gluten-free. Coconut flour could also work.

    Vanilla whey protein powder is very useful, if you can get it. I use it with butter and nut flour to make pie crusts that taste a lot like graham cracker crusts. I also sometimes use it in my morning shakes, if I feel like I need a little protein boost. But that’s a recipe for another day. 🙂

    I have this baking in the oven now. You don’t say when to add the stevia blend to the batter, whether into the egg whites or egg yolk/cream cheese. I mixed it in with the yolks. We’ll see how it turns out!

      Sorry I didn’t see this until now. The stevia blend goes in with the filling ingredients–it’s listed in the ingredients under Filling Ingredients, so everything under that is filling.

      Yes, there is no nut flour. The photo in the article was actually a picture taken by editor Marcy Guyer’s husband Jeff after she made the recipe.

FAQs

What is pumpkin roll filling made of? ›

Pumpkin Roll Ingredients

You likely have most of the ingredients you'll need on hand. If not, here's what to add to your grocery list: For the Cake: eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. For the Filling: cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.

How long does pumpkin roll last in the fridge? ›

Pumpkin rolls keep well in the refrigerator and freezer, so they're the perfect dessert to make ahead of time if you'd like. To store your pumpkin roll, wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap. Then you can either refrigerate it for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

How to keep pumpkin roll from cracking? ›

How to keep pumpkin roll from cracking: The biggest trick to preventing your cake roll from cracking is to roll the cake up in the parchment paper as soon as it comes out of the oven. The hot cake will be soft and pliable and should roll up without cracking.

Why does my pumpkin roll crack when I roll it? ›

A moist cake has less chance of cracking. Overbaking could also be the culprit. The thin layer of cake batter in the typical 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan takes only about 10 to 15 minutes to bake. Check your cake after 8 or 9 minutes and watch closely until it tests done.

How many calories in a pumpkin cream cheese roll? ›

Dutch Country Homemade Pumpkin Roll With Cream Cheese Filling (1 slice) contains 39g total carbs, 38g net carbs, 8g fat, 3g protein, and 240 calories.

Does canned pumpkin go bad in the fridge? ›

Once opened, a can of pumpkin lasts five to seven days in the fridge. It is best to move the leftover purée from the can to an airtight container with a date and label.

Can I eat 7 day old pumpkin pie? ›

If properly wrapped—that is, loosely covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap—a freshly baked pumpkin pie keeps in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Should you refrigerate canned pumpkin after opening? ›

If you have already opened the can of pumpkin puree, it will last three to four days in the refrigerator, per the USDA's guidelines. Before refrigerating any leftover pumpkin puree, transfer it to an airtight container. You can also freeze the pumpkin puree if you're looking to use it later.

What is the secret to the pumpkin roll? ›

Roll the cake while it's hot!

This is the secret to a perfectly-swirled roll cake. While the cake is still hot, use the parchment to transfer the cake from the baking pan onto a clean kitchen towel. Using the towel as a hot mitt, roll the cake into a tight spiral from the narrow side.

Why is my pumpkin roll filling runny? ›

Also, it's crucial that your ingredients are all room temperature so that the cream cheese filling can be nice and sturdy. Otherwise, the filling will be too thin and will ooze out of the pumpkin roll. (If it seems too thin, just add more powdered sugar.)

Why is my pumpkin roll wet or sticky? ›

As the pumpkin roll cools, it has a tendency to form a little bit of condensation on the outside. This can cause it to feel a little wet or sticky. That's where the powdered sugar comes in! Not only does it add a little bit of extra sweetness, but it helps absorb some of that excess moisture.

Why does my Swiss roll crack when I unroll it? ›

Make sure you roll up the cake when it's hot out of the oven. If you let it cool much at all, it will risk cracking when rolling or unrolling. I highly recommend using a scale to measure your flour as it's the most accurate method and will prevent you from ending up with a dense cake.

Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda? ›

Baking powder is made of baking soda plus cream of tartar and cornstarch. Baking powder can be substituted for baking soda by tripling the amount of baking powder. Baking soda can be substituted for baking powder by dividing the amount of baking powder needed by 4 and adding twice that amount of cream of tartar.

Can I freeze my pumpkin roll? ›

Pumpkin rolls make a great hostess gift or make-ahead Thanksgiving dessert because they freeze so well. Prepared pumpkin rolls can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap the pumpkin roll tightly first in a layer of plastic wrap and then in a layer of foil.

What's the difference between canned pumpkin and pumpkin filling? ›

They are the same product. Both canned pumpkin puree and pie filling are useful, shelf-stable ingredients that can help speed up your kitchen prep time. Just remember that puree is unsweetened, while pie filling contains sugar and spices. This will help you choose the right pumpkin product for your recipes.

What's the difference between pumpkin puree and filling? ›

Although they both come in cans and the packaging looks almost identical, they can't be used interchangeably. Pumpkin puree doesn't have anything added to it, but pumpkin pie filling comes with pumpkin spice and sugar already mixed in.

What is pumpkin filler? ›

Pumpkin pie filling is pumpkin flavored with spices like cinnamon, clove, allspice, and ginger, and is also pre-sweetened. This is a very nice convenience product when you want to make a quick and easy recipe, like this no-bake pumpkin chiffon pie.

What is a pumpkin roll sushi? ›
