To make frosting:

Pour the mixture evenly onto a freshly baked roll. Leave it to set for 5-10 minutes. Serve with a pinch of cinnamon on top!
Are you all about the pumpkin life during autumn? Or is there another fall flavor that you prefer, like apple perhaps? Have you tried pumpkin cinnamon rolls? If so, what did you think? Do you like frosting on top? Or do you prefer another topping? Mmm, caramel sounds good! Often I like to eat the crunchiest roll, with no icing – so good! Let us know what you think in the comments or on social media! Happy eating!
