    It has cream cheese n butter in it so it needs to be refrigerated. Let sit out of frig for awhile before servingโ€ฆ..enjoy.
    P.s. other recipes call for 2/3 cup of pumpkin, not the whole can.
    P.p.s. I use fresh pumpkin for my bakingโ€ฆ..big difference in taste.

    1 star
    Ingredient list says 1 can pumpkin puree. Is this accurate? I used 1 can and it was way too much and I had to throw it all out. Pumpkin purรฉe is only available in one size can here so perhaps a different measurement would help. Thank you!

    If I make this pumpkin roll a day before I serve, does it need to be refrigerated or just sit on the counter?
