Recipe Notes

I have two of these in the freezer for New Year’s and after writing this blog I’m wondering if the hubs wouldn’t mind if I served it for dinner. Just kidding! Kinda…

Here is how to make Forking EPIC Drunken Pumpkin Roll…

Start by making your pumpkin cake base. Beat egg yolks and sugars for 3 minutes. Add pumpkin, extracts and rum & mix for another minute. With mixer on low, add in dry ingredients

Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold into pumpkin cake base 

Working gently, fold the rest of the egg whites

Spread into prepared pan

Bake until set but not browned

As soon as you get it out of the oven, brush the top with spiced rum and stevia (or whichever sugar you are using)

Lay clean kitchen towel over the top of the pan. Hold the towel tightly in place as you flip the pan over onto the counter. Brush with rum and sprinkle with stevia

Fold edge of towel over the cake and gently roll the cake up with the towel – starting one of the long sides. Place seam side down and allow to cool on the counter

Cream cheeses together with stevia, rum, and extract

When cake has cooled, gently unroll it. If it cracks it’s ok! Your delicious cheese concoction is going to hold everything together

Spread cheese mixture over cake

Gently roll cake up jelly roll style. I challenge you not to lick your fingers! 

Cut off each end. I like to cut my roll in half so I can serve it twice! You could put a topping on this and just slice it at the party. 

I prefer to serve it sliced in one inch sections 

Try this with my Cranberry Awesome Sauce! 

And if you love pumpkin (and THIS would be so delish with my Cranberry Awesome Sauce too!) you’ll love these…
