Instructions
For the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Preheat the oven oven to 200F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Lightly whisk together, then set aside for 6-8 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add the egg, salt, and butter. Whisk to combine.
- Add the flour. Using the hook attachment, knead the dough on LOW for 2 minutes. Increase speed to Medium-High to knead for 5 more minutes. The dough should be soft and pliable. Adjust with milk (if too dry) or flour (if too sticky), if needed.
- Cover with Saran Wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- While resting, lightly flour a clean surface.
- Roll out the dough 12x18" rectangle, about 1/4" thick.
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. The butter shouldn't be melted but should spread over the dough easily.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Press down with your hands so it sticks to the butter.
- Roll up the dough tightly.
- Cut the cinnamon rolls using a serrated knife into 12 equal slices.
- Place into a lightly greased 9x13" baking dish. Cover with Saran Wrap.
- Turn the oven OFF. Place the cinnamon rolls in the heated oven to rise 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, REMOVE the Saran Wrap. Quickly pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls. Then place back into the oven uncovered.
- Leaving them in the oven, turn the oven ON to 375F. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until brown on top.
For the Icing:
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree, 1 cup powdered sugar and milk. Beat until soft and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before adding the icing. The icing should melt and become a beautiful glaze on top. Enjoy warm!
