  • Cut out the middle of each one but do not cut all the way to the bottom. Brush the rolls all over with the cinnamon butter.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar and remaining cinnamon. Next whisk in your egg and vanilla until evenly combined and the mixture's smooth. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each roll.
    8 oz cream cheese, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the center is set, keep an eye on these, you do not want them to burn. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, and set it aside to cool while you prepare the icing.
  • Whisk together the milk and powdered sugar until a thick icing forms. Place the icing into a large ziplocking bag and snip off the end. Drizzle the icing all over the top of the rolls.
    2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure you aren't cutting all the way through the rolls when you cut the centers out. You want to create a well for the filling. Leaving the bottom in tact on the roll will keep the filling from spilling out of the bottom of the rolls.
  • When baking the rolls, keep a close eye on the rolls to make sure the rolls don't burn.
  • You can skip the icing all together and drizzle the rolls with caramel sauce instead!
