Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cream Cheese Icing:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.
- In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a small border on one long edge.
- Starting from the long edge with the filling, carefully roll up the dough into a log.
- Slice the log into 8 equal cinnamon rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese icing. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top.
Notes
- For extra warmth, you can add a pinch of ground ginger to the pumpkin spice mixture.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
- The icing can be adjusted to your desired consistency by adding more or less milk.
