Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare your ingredients by measuring them out beforehand. This will make the cooking process smooth and straightforward.
  2. Heat the milk until it reaches a lukewarm temperature, similar to bathwater. In the microwave, 35-45 seconds with a stir should do the trick. Combine the warm milk with active dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Mix thoroughly and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. If bubbles have formed after 10 minutes, give it a mix. Then, add in melted butter, egg, sugar, and pumpkin puree. Continue mixing until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
  4. Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture, ensuring thorough mixing until the wet and dry ingredients are fully combined.
  5. If your dough is sticky, use your hands to bring it together. Don't worry if it's a bit flaky or has some crumbly parts. Flour a dry surface and start kneading by hand for 7-8 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a hook attachment for this step.
  6. Once your dough is smooth, transfer it to a large, buttered bowl. Cover it with a damp towel and place it in a cool, dry spot for approximately 60 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
  7. After your dough has doubled, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread a generous layer of softened butter over the dough. Mix cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle it across the dough. Roll the dough tightly to form a nice log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces (there might be leftovers).
  8. Place in a buttered up 13x9 baking dish, over parchment paper and cover with a damp towel, and allow it to rise for the second time or until it has doubled in size.
  9. Create the frosting by combining powdered sugar, latte mix, cream cheese, and vanilla. Mix the ingredients by hand or use a hand mixer for a smooth and creamy consistency.
  10. Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until they are nice and soft on the inside, with a golden brown exterior.
  11. After 5 minutes, generously glaze the cinnamon rolls with the frosting. Serve them warm and enjoy!
