Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease two 8x8-inch pans with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Separate and unroll the dough into individual sections. You should have 16 pieces. Brush each piece of dough with the melted butter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Evenly divide the pumpkin filling and spread it over each piece of rolled-out dough. Carefully roll up each piece of dough, lightly pinching the seams together. Arrange the rolls 1 inch apart in the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
Meanwhile, place the cream cheese in your mixer's bowl and cream for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until creamy and smooth. Add in the pumpkin pie spice and the vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined.
Remove the pans from the oven and immediately brush each roll with the cream cheese frosting. Serve.
Milk: Opt for milk with a fat content of 2% or more for the most creamy outcome.
Preferred Dough: Search for Pillsbury Crescent Rounds, which are often available on Instacart or at Target. If you can't locate them, the Original Crescent Rolls will suffice.
Don't Overbake: Pull the rolls out of the oven as soon as they sport a golden hue on top.
Cream Cheese Tip: Pull the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it sit on the countertop until softened, about 30 minutes for cubed cream cheese or up to an hour for a whole block. Softened cream cheese allows for a more even and creamy blend without any lumps.
Serving Suggestion: Dive into these cinnamon rolls while they're fresh and warm for the ultimate experience.
Frosting Flexibility: The frosting is a perfect consistency; however, you can achieve a thicker consistency by introducing more powdered sugar.
Storing Instructions: Safely store any leftover pumpkin cinnamon rolls in a sealed container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.
