GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE ROLL DESSERT

From Nicole Smith White of Chester Gap

INGREDIENTS:

Baked Portion:

bullet

3⁄4 cup brown rice flour or potato flour (naturally gluten-free)

bullet

½ t baking powder

bullet

1 t baking soda

bullet

1⁄8 t salt

bullet

½ t cinnamon

bullet

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

bullet

3 eggs

bullet

1 T melted butter

bullet

1 t pure vanilla extract

bullet

3⁄4 cup sugar

Cold Filling Portion:

bullet

1 T room-temperature softened butter

bullet

12 oz. cream cheese

bullet

3⁄4 cup powdered sugar

bullet

1 t pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients (rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract and sugar until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just a few strokes until blended. Grease and lightly flour (with brown rice flour or potato flour) a large metal jelly-roll pan/cookie sheet (rectangular, 1-inch deep). Pour the batter onto the metal sheet and carefully spread evenly to every corner. Hint: Lift edges of the pan and lightly tap onto the counter to release the air bubbles and allow batter to rest evenly. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the counter for 30 minutes. To make the filling, combine all ingredients with an electric hand mixer in a medium-sized bowl. Spread the filling evenly across the cooled pumpkin roll (while it’s still in the pan). Tear off a piece of wax paper and a large sheet of aluminum foil and set those on the counter. Carefully lift the edges of the pumpkin roll with a plastic spoon or spatula to release it from the pan. With two hands, start at one end and roll the pumpkin up like a jelly-roll. Place roll onto the wax paper and wrap it; then continue with a tight wrap inside the aluminum foil. Chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving. Chill time allows it to set up and maintain its shape. When ready to serve, simply unwrap one end slice. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
