Pumpkin S'mores Empanadas

35 min
10 min prep
25 min cook

Serves 10

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Extra fine granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling over tops
  • 2 cups Sweet Hazel Baking Pumpkin, peeled, seeds removed and meat diced
  • 14 oz Frozen pastry dough
  • 12 oz 5% Cacao Semi‑Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into 1 inch pieces, plus more as needed
  • 2 cups Mini marshmallows, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream, for brushing tops

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with 2 quarts of water and 2 cups of sugar. Add pumpkin and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until pumpkin is just soft.
  2. Strain water and set pumpkin aside to cool. Then place in blender and puree until smooth.
  3. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  4. Spread out pastry dough on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Add about a tablespoon of pumpkin to the center of each dough circle followed by chocolate pieces and marshmallows (do not overfill because empanadas will not seal properly).
  5. Brush edges of emapandas with water and fold over, pulling dough tight around the filling when sealing. Crimp edges with fork to seal completely.
  6. Brush heavy cream over each and sprinkle sugar over the top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until just browned. Allow to cool before eating.
