How to Make Diabetic Pumpkin Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs with 1/2 cup Equal sweetener for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides to aid in rolling.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake!
  9. Let cool in the pan for 3 minutes.
  10. Carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
  11. Starting from a narrow end, tightly roll the cake and the towel together. Double the towel at the beginning of the roll to help prevent cracking.
  12. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cake to set completely.
  13. Unroll the cake and spread evenly with the cream cheese filling (see below).
  14. Re-roll the cake, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  15. Slice into pinwheels and serve. Enjoy!
  16. **Cream Cheese Filling:** In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup whipped topping and 1/4 cup Equal sweetener, beating until light and fluffy.
