Making the Rolls
  1. Warm the milk to a cozy 105°F-110°F. Mix with granulated sugar and active dry yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. Combine the frothy yeast mixture with pumpkin puree, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for about 7-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  5. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling in a bowl. Set aside.
  6. Roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness, spread butter, and sprinkle filling. Roll tightly and slice into 9 pieces.
  7. Place rolls in a greased pan, cover, and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour heavy cream over risen rolls and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Prepare frosting by whisking cream cheese, butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  10. Cool rolls slightly, frost generously, and serve warm.
