Australian Cafe Style Pumpkin & Ricotta Rolls. Just 5 Main Ingredients!
Cafe culture is such a big part of the Australian Lifestyle. Whether you’re catching up with friends or grabbing on the go, we all love a good cafe coffee & pastry.
And for good reason! Cafe pastries are SO delicious, but… they are usually full of empty calories, and at $5-7 a pop, the cost can really start to add up.
It got us thinking, and we wanted to create a HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE that you can make at home. Not only that, we wanted it to be BUDGET FRIENDLY! What’s even better is you only need 5 MAIN INGREDIENTS plus seasonings to whip this up! And what better pastry than a hearty Pumpkin & Ricotta filling!
Introducing: Healthy Mummy Australian Cafe-Style Pumpkin & Ricotta Rolls…
We want everyone to be able to have delicious cafe-style pastries at home, so we’re sharing this recipe straight from the 28 Day Challenge. Here’s how to make delicious, golden-brown Pumpkin & Ricotta rolls (or triangles, or circles or whatever shape you want!)
PRO TIP: Make in larger portions and freeze leftover rolls to have quick and healthy meals on hand for the weeks ahead. To reheat, pop into the oven to reheat and crisp the wrap before serving, or microwave for a fast “heat & eat” option.

- Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin, ricotta, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, Italian herbs, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Lay the mountain bread wraps on a flat, clean surface and fill each mountain bread with even amounts of the pumpkin mixture along one side of the wrap. Loosely roll up the wrap (the mixture expands slightly when cooking) and place fold side down onto the baking tray.
- Continue this process with remaining ingredients.
- Brush each roll with the melted butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with your choice of garden salad or steamed vegetables. One roll is one serve.
