INGREDIENTS

  • 12 slices Dempster's® White Bread
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, melted
  • Prepared vanilla frosting
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) pumpkin purée
  • 1 pkg (227 g) whipped cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) white chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

  1. Tombstone Toasts: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Roll each slice of bread into 1/8-inch (2.5 mm) thickness using a rolling pin. Cut out shapes using a tombstone-shaped cookie cutter, cutting two from each slice.
  2. Brush cutouts with melted butter and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning halfway through, for 12 to 13 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Let cool slightly; pipe decorations onto tombstones with prepared frosting.
  3. Pumpkin Spice Dip:
  4. Fold together pumpkin purée, cream cheese, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined. Transfer to ovenproof serving dish; bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until warmed through. Garnish with white chocolate chips and pecans. Serve with Tombstone Toasts for dipping.
