14 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
16 -
1 cup powdered sugar
17 -
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
18 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Allow mixture to stand for 5 to 10 minutes until visibly foamy.
02 -
Stir in the egg, pumpkin puree, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until incorporated.
03 -
Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, mixing to create a soft dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead by hand for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 -
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover tightly and allow to rise in a warm location for 60 to 90 minutes, or until doubled in volume.
05 -
Combine light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
06 -
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
07 -
After the dough has doubled, punch down and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle. Evenly distribute the prepared filling mixture over the surface, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
08 -
Tightly roll dough from the long edge, sealing the seam by pinching. Slice the log into 12 equal portions.
09 -
Arrange slices cut-side up in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy.
10 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
11 -
Allow rolls to cool in the pan for several minutes before spreading the prepared maple cream cheese icing over the tops. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for optimal dough texture. Softened butter and cream cheese are essential for smooth icing.
