Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
  6. Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe rows of 3-inch-long finger shapes onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  7. Mix pumpkin puree with chosen spices. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick and fluffy, and gently fold it into the pumpkin mixture.
  8. Beat the cream cheese until smooth and gradually incorporate the whipped cream until fully blended.
