Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- ½ cup (120 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Muffin Tin Preparation: Thoroughly coat each cavity with non-stick spray to guarantee effortless release of the finished treats.
- Cinnamon Roll Modification: Separate rolls from packaging and slice horizontally, creating compact bases for pumpkin filling, reserving icing for later use.
- Filling Creation: Whisk pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky-smooth consistency without any lumps.
- Assembly: Press cinnamon roll halves into prepared muffin cups, forming a delicate base, then carefully pour pumpkin mixture into each cup, filling approximately three-quarters full to prevent potential overflow.
- Baking Process: Position muffin tin in a preheated oven at 375F (190C), baking for 20-25 minutes until edges transform to a golden hue and filling sets firmly, monitoring closely to avoid over-browning.
- Finishing Touches: After removing from oven, allow cups to cool momentarily, then generously drizzle reserved cinnamon roll icing over each treat, creating a lustrous glaze.
- Serving Suggestion: Optionally crown with a delicate dollop of whipped cream for an extra luxurious presentation, serving while still warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Strategically: Use a non-stick spray with precision, ensuring complete coverage of muffin tin cavities to guarantee easy removal of delicate cups.
- Slice Rolls Uniformly: Cut cinnamon rolls horizontally with a sharp knife, maintaining equal thickness to create consistent base and even baking.
- Control Filling Level: Fill muffin cups only three-quarters full to prevent messy overflow and achieve professional-looking presentation during baking.
- Manage Oven Temperature: Watch closely during final baking minutes, as golden edges indicate perfect doneness while preventing potential burning or drying out.
