My love of pumpkin put me on a quest to discover another tasty way to enjoy my favorite fall flavor. I found a recipe for pumpkin cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing. The recipe is a little time consuming, but I hope you will agree...it's worth it!

| Doesn't it look delish! Trust me...it is! |
Dissolve 1 pkg yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add 1/3 cup warm milk, 1 egg, 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1 T melted butter, 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 t salt, 3/4 t cinnamon, 1/4 t ginger, 1/4 t cardamon.
Beat for 2 minutes.
Slowly add 1 1/2 c of all purpose flour (You can add more if needed. The dough needs to be stiff enough to knead.)
Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let dough rise until doubled. (This takes about an hour...maybe more)
After it has doubled, pat the dough into a 16" x 12" rectangle. Spread softened butter on top. (about 4 oz.). Sprinkle the sugar mixture on top.
Sugar Mixture:
2/3 c white sugar, 1/4 c brown sugar, 2 t. cinnamon, 1/2 t ginger, 1/2 t allspice, 1/4 t nutmeg, 1/8 t cloves. Mix well.
Roll the dough into a log the long way. Slice the log into about 15 slices. . Place into a greased baking dish and cover. Let rise until doubled (about an hour).
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes. They should be golden brown when done.
Frost with cream cheese icing and enjoy!
Cream cheese icing:
Blend together 4 oz. cream cheese, 4 oz. butter, 1 t. vanilla and 2-3 cups of powdered sugar.
There it is! I think they are very yummy. I will definitely make these again.
So what are your favorite pumpkin recipes?
