A juicy, soft, filled, sweet pumpkin strudel with a hint of cinnamon, which I think is worth making two of right from the start.
Ingredients
(For one strudel)
For the Filling
- 300 g peeled pumpkin
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar (8 g)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp semolina
- 2 tbsp ground almonds
For Assembling
- 3 sheets of phyllo pastry
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
For Brushing
- 1 egg yolk
Preparation
Making this pumpkin strudel is simple and doesn’t require much experience.
Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: Grate the pumpkin on a coarse grater. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the grated pumpkin. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon, stirring to combine. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes juicy and slightly caramelized. Stir in the semolina and ground almonds.
Assemble the Strudel: Brush the phyllo sheets with oil and layer them on top of each other. Spread the pumpkin filling along the bottom longer edge of the phyllo stack. Fold in the edges on both sides and roll up the strudel.
Bake: Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with the egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, until golden.
Serve: Once cooled, slice and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
