Icing Ingredients:
- 6 oz cream cheese

Directions:
- Combine warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl.

-
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes before placing in a lightly greased bowl, cover,
and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
-
While waiting for the dough to rise, mix the softened brown butter, brown sugar,
pumpkin spice, and cinnamon until combined and spreadable.
-
Roll the dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the
filling evenly over the dough.

Slice the dough into 8 pieces, then roll them each up tightly. Place the rolls
into a greased pan, cover, and let rise for another 35 minutes.
-
Pour warm heavy cream over the risen rolls before baking at 350 degrees for
22-28 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
While the rolls are baking, beat cream cheese and brown butter together until
smooth. Then, beat in powdered sugar, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and salt until
everything is fully combined.
