Directions

• For the dough - in a medium bowl, whisk together the warm milk (less than 110 degrees), brown sugar, sugar and yeast. Allow to rest for at least 2 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the pumpkin puree, egg and yeast mixture. Mix well, scraping the sides often.
• Add in the flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Switch to the dough hook attachment and mix for about 2-4 minutes or until combined.
• Add in the softened butter and mix for about 10 minutes or until thoroughly combined and worked.
• Allow to set and rise until doubled in size (about an hour depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
• For the filling - in a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In another small bowl, melt the butter. Set aside.
• Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your work surface. Punch down the dough and roll out into an 18x24 inch rectangle.
• Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter, edge to edge across the entire thing.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over almost the entire surface, leaving a one inch strip along one of the longer edges free of the mixture.
• Starting on the opposite long edge, tightly roll the cinnamon rolls and seal with seam on the bottom of the log.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the log into 1 - 1 ½ inch size rolls.
• Spray an 8x10 or similar sized baking dish with non-stick spray.
• Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, cut side up. Allow to rest and rise again until gaps are filled and even with the top of the baking dish.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Allow to cool slightly before frosting.
• While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and heavy cream.
• Mix on low until combined, scraping the sides often. Bump up the speed to medium and whip until smooth and fluffy.
• Once the cinnamon rolls have come out of the oven, spread an even layer of frosting over the cinnamon rolls.
