Parke County Pumpkin-Cream Cheese Roll Gluten-Free & Low-Carb Recipe by Tracey Rollison. The first time I tasted these rolls, I was cycling with my newish-husband through the gorgeous orange and red hills at the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival of Parke County Indiana. Probably 10 minutes by car from the nearest hamlet, a woman set up a yard sale in front of her farmhouse and was allowing people to sample her pumpkin rolls. I saw people leaving with several rolls each, and her husband hustling back into their freezer as people requested them. They are so wonderful, and have become a tradition all over the Midwest! Of course, she wouldn’t give me her recipe, but she did give me a general idea of how to make them. I worked to recreate it, and now it’s on our holiday table. And at tailgate parties.

Sometimes we can get all pumpkined out. I have several in my family that simply don’t like pumpkin pie. Try serving this slightly tart Cranberry-Almond Panna Cotta instead.
