Hello again. We made it through another week, and we are alive, and President Pumpkin Dotard hasn’t sent us spiraling into nuclear winter. So, considering the alternative, it’s been a good week. Hooray for us.
But just in case things take an unexpected turn for the worse, I wanted to create a recipe with ingredients that would seem to survive a nuclear winter and still be edible. So… silver lining? Also, I’m a cook (and economist) not a scientist, so don’t quote me on that. You should probably confer with Jesse before making some kind of official pronouncement that these pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls are nuke-safe.
Anyway, these are delicious and easy to make. Go forth and make them. And keep on resisting. Don’t stop resisting.
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Open dough and lay out in one large sheet. Pinch together the edges and using a rolling pin to lightly roll.
3. Melt the butter and mix in the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
4. Spread mixture all over the dough.
5. Top with a light layer of the pumpkin.
6. Roll up the dough to form a log.
7. Using a serrated knife, cut the log in half. Cut each smaller log in half. And then again. Now you have 8 little pieces.
8. I used muffin tins to help the rolls keep their shape. Grease the tins and put one roll in each.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before removing the rolls from the pan.
11. Mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar and top the rolls.
12. Eat eat eat!!!
