Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese with salt and pepper. Mix together until smooth and creamy. Chill for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the biscuit dough and cut it into small pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls and flatten to 3 inches in diameter.
- Spoon a generous portion of the cheese filling into the center of each dough round. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside.
- Use kitchen twine to tie each filled dough round, creating ridges that mimic a pumpkin's shape. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of paprika, stirring until fragrant. Brush over the tops of the baked pumpkins.
- Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each pumpkin for a stem. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes
Chilling the cheese filling helps it maintain shape while baking. You can prepare and fill the pumpkins a day in advance and refrigerate them for easy entertaining.
