Ingredients

  • 1 package phyllo pastry sheets
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pistachios for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, chopped walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly incorporated and the mixture feels cohesive. Set aside.
  • Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying. Melt the unsalted butter and have a pastry brush ready.
  • Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and brush it with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush again. Spoon a thin line of the pumpkin nut filling along one edge of the layered phyllo. Carefully roll the phyllo into a tight log, sealing edges with extra butter. Repeat until all filling and phyllo are used.
  • Place the rolls on a buttered baking sheet, spacing slightly. Brush tops with more melted butter. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
  • While baking, combine honey, water, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat until honey melts and syrup is blended. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Immediately drizzle warm honey syrup over baked rolls, allowing it to soak in. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
  • Let rolls cool completely to room temperature so syrup sets. Serve with tea or coffee for a cozy treat.

Notes

  • Handle phyllo carefully and keep it covered to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Brush each phyllo layer generously with melted butter for crispiness and rich flavor.
  • Warm syrup seeps better into rolls for moist, tender texture.
  • Toast walnuts lightly before mixing for extra aroma and flavor.
  • Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
