Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients
To make this cinnamon rolls recipe, you will need the following ingredients (scroll down to the recipe below for precise amounts):
- Pillsbury crescent roll dough tube
- unsalted butter
- canned pumpkin: Use the pure pumpkin, not pie filling
- light brown sugar
- pumpkin pie spice
- cream cheese
- salt
- powdered sugar
- milk
- vanilla extract
How to Make Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick spray.
- Unroll the crescent roll sheet and push all of the seams together, making one solid sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the semi-melted butter and pumpkin. Spread the pumpkin mixture over the entire sheet of dough, reaching all of the edges.
- In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Then, sprinkle all over the top of the sheet, reaching all of the edges.
- Roll the sheet up from the short end to the other short end.
- To cut your slices, use a string such as floss or butcher string, tie it around the log and pull tight until a slice has been made. This will prevent your slices from being smashed with a knife. Do this until you have made 8-9 slices.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in your pan, giving them plenty of space to expand in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- While baking, prepare the frosting. Using a mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add in the salt, vanilla, and milk and slowly add in the powdered sugar. If your glaze is too thick, add a little more milk.
- When your rolls are done, let them cool for a few minutes and then drizzle the frosting all over the top. These are best served warm.
A ceramic pie plate is a beautiful way to serve dessert.
