Delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups with Pumpkin Spice Dipping Sauce: Your Ultimate Fall Breakfast Recipe

Welcome the crisp air and vibrant colors of autumn with a truly spectacular breakfast that perfectly captures the essence of the season: Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups, complete with a luscious homemade Pumpkin Spice Dipping Sauce. As the leaves begin to turn and a cozy feeling fills the air, there’s nothing quite like starting your day with the comforting flavors of pumpkin and warm spices.

Tell me – which culinary group do you belong to?

Are you one of those who valiantly cling to the last vestiges of summer, savoring fresh corn, juicy tomatoes, and tender zucchini, fiercely resisting the allure of pumpkins and apples until the calendar officially declares autumn? Or, like me, do you wholeheartedly embrace fall from the moment Labor Day passes, already sipping pumpkin spice lattes and planning your visit to the apple orchard?

I think it’s abundantly clear where my loyalties lie, especially when presented with these utterly irresistible Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups served alongside a rich and fragrant Pumpkin Spice Dipping Sauce. For me, Labor Day has always unofficially marked the beginning of fall. The calendar may have its own timeline, but my taste buds and heart eagerly anticipate the season of cozy comfort foods, and that includes indulging in pumpkin for breakfast!

In fact, my enthusiasm for autumn flavors has already led me through an entire can of pumpkin puree, all to bring you even more delightful pumpkin-centric recipes later this month. While I typically reserve pumpkin recipes for October, I simply couldn’t wait to share these incredible Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups. They’re too good to keep under wraps any longer, promising a taste of fall that’s both elegant and incredibly comforting.

One of the many advantages of this recipe is its convenience. You can prepare and bake all of these delicious roll ups at once, ensuring that everyone at your breakfast or brunch table can enjoy a warm, fresh serving simultaneously. Say goodbye to the endless wait as you individually cook each slice of French toast, with hungry eyes patiently (or not so patiently!) staring at you. This makes them an ideal choice for family gatherings, holiday breakfasts, or simply a relaxed weekend treat.

I’ve always been a fan of creative breakfast ideas, having previously crafted apple butter French toast roll ups. Knowing the versatility of this concept, it was only a matter of time before I experimented with other delightful fillings. And of course, when it comes to fall, pumpkin is king! Incorporating a pumpkin cheesecake twist was an absolute must. After all, I’ll seize any plausible excuse to enjoy cheesecake, especially for breakfast. This luxurious filling transforms ordinary French toast into an extraordinary culinary experience.

In my household, when I cook breakfast for my family, I often find myself playing the role of a made-to-order chef. This usually means either not everyone eats at the same time, or I’m constantly reheating dishes before serving to ensure everything is warm. This can be a bit of a juggling act, especially when dealing with multiple preferences. However, by baking these convenient and delicious roll ups, you completely eliminate the stress of timing. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and efficiency, allowing you to enjoy your meal alongside your loved ones without the constant back-and-forth to the stove. It truly revolutionizes breakfast for a crowd, making it a stress-free and enjoyable occasion for everyone.

Now, let’s talk about the true star of the show for many – the glorious Pumpkin Spice Dipping Sauce. This sauce is not only incredibly delicious but also adds an element of playful interaction to your meal, as you get to dip each perfect roll-up to your heart’s content. But first, for those who might wonder, what exactly is pumpkin spice? It’s a harmonious blend of classic autumnal spices: warm cinnamon, zesty ginger, earthy nutmeg, fragrant clove, and a touch of aromatic allspice. There’s no pumpkin in pumpkin spice itself; rather, it’s the perfect companion to pumpkin, enhancing its natural sweetness and creating that iconic fall flavor profile we all adore.

I’m personally not a huge fan of drenching my breakfast in traditional syrup. While delicious, sometimes it can overpower the delicate flavors of the dish itself. That’s precisely why I prefer the interactive and customizable experience of dipping. With this creamy, spiced sauce, you control the amount of flavor in each bite, ensuring a perfect balance every time. The luscious texture and rich, spiced notes of the dipping sauce elevate these French toast roll ups from a simple breakfast to a truly gourmet experience.

If you’ve made it this far, still enthusiastically reading, I’m going to guess that you, like me, are fully ready to dive headfirst into all things fall! Which is wonderfully ironic, considering the weather lately has been stubbornly clinging to summer’s heat. I’m eagerly anticipating cooler temperatures, the kind that invite cozy sweaters, warm fires, and, of course, delightful pumpkin-infused treats. Otherwise, I might just have to adapt my fall cravings and start enjoying iced pumpkin spice lattes to get my fix while waiting for true sweater weather to arrive. But regardless of the outdoor temperature, these Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups will transport your taste buds directly to an autumn wonderland.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

French Toast Roll Ups

• 18 slices of white bread
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Pumpkin Spice Dipping Sauce

• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or grease really, really well (the roll ups will stick if you aren’t prepared).
2. For the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the Greek yogurt.
3. Flatten one slice of bread to about half of its original thickness. Spread roughly 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling evenly on top. Roll up bread and set aside, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining bread.
4. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip each roll up into the egg mixture, completely covering and shaking off the excess. Place on the baking sheet.
5. Bake 10 minutes. Pull out of the oven, brush the top side with melted butter, flip each roll then brush the bottoms with butter. If they stick, gently use a spatula to loosen them. Leave bottom side up and bake another 10 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, add the sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. As soon as the roll ups have finished baking, roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
7. While the roll ups are baking, make the dipping sauce: In a large bowl beat together the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and allspice then beat in the milk.
