Ingredients
Pumpkin Dough
- 3 tbsp Vegan butter
- 2 tsp Instant yeast
- 1 cup Pumpkin Spice MALK
- 1 tbsp Organic cane sugar
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
- 2-3 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
Filling
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup Packed dark brown sugar
- ½ tsp Sea salt
- 1 tbsp Pumpkin pie spice
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
- ¼ cup Vegan butter, softened
- 4 oz Vegan cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Pumpkin Spice MALK
- 2 cups Organic powdered sugar, sifted
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
Directions
- In a large sauce pan (or in a bowl in the microwave at 30-second increments), heat the Pumpkin Spice MALK and vegan butter until warm and melted, avoid boiling. Remove from heat and let cool to 110℉ to avoid killing the yeast.
- Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and add yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast, then stir in salt and sugar until dissolved.
- Next, add in flour in 1/2 cup increments, stirring as you go (you may not need all 3 cups). The dough will be sticky. When it is too thick to stir, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes or until the dough sticks to itself and forms a loose ball. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, then set in a warm, draft-free place to rest for about 1 hour, or until dough doubles in size.
- In the meantime, use a small bowl to mix together filling ingredients.
- When ready, lightly flour your work surface, then roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Evenly spread and distribute the filling over the dough.
- Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and situate seam side down. With a sharp knife, divide the dough into 8 equal sections, about 1.5” - 2” thick. Grease an 8”x8” pan, then transfer the pieces into it, open-side up.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350℉. Carefully brush the surface of the rolls with melted vegan butter, then cover with plastic wrap again. Allow the dough to rise a second time while the oven throughly preheats, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Using a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and vegan cream cheese, and whisk together until combined and fluffy. Add Pumpkin Spice MALK and sea salt, then whisk again until smooth.
- After, add sifted powdered sugar in 1 cup increments, then continue to whisk until consistent. Set frosting aside.
- When the oven is ready, bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then return the frosting and spread evenly on top. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
