Ingredients
- 1 8oz (227g) Crescent Roll Container
- 2 1/2 tbsp (37ml) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup (80ml) light brown sugar
- 2 tsp (10ml) honey
- 1 tsp (5 ml) pumpkin spice
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 tbsp (37ml) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tbsp (7.5ml) maple syrup
- 2 oz (57g) beef cream cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp (22ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp (15ml) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and honey until they are well blended.
- In another small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt.
- On a floured surface, spread out the crescent roll dough into a large rectangle, sealing any seams by pinching them together. It’s best to keep the dough chilled until this point for easier handling.
- Melt the butter and use a brush to lightly coat the dough rectangle. Pour the rest of the melted butter into the brown sugar mixture.
- Using a spatula, evenly distribute the pumpkin mixture over the dough, followed by the brown sugar mixture.
- Make sure to have flour ready, and dust the surface as you tightly roll the dough from the longer side towards the opposite edge. Seal any openings that may occur as you roll.
- After rolling, slice the dough into 11 to 12 pieces for your rolls. Cut parchment paper to fit your air fryer basket and place the rolls on top.
- Cook the rolls in the air fryer at 360°F for 10 minutes.
- Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to flip the rolls to cook evenly; otherwise, they should be golden brown and perfectly cooked in around 12 minutes without flipping.
- Remove the rolls from the air fryer, let them cool for a couple of minutes, then add the frosting and enjoy!
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese and butter by microwaving for 20 seconds.
- Combine with pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing on high speed until smooth. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar until the frosting is creamy. Chill until the rolls are ready to be frosted.
Notes
- Ensure even cooking by tightly rolling and sealing the dough before slicing.
- For a smoother frosting, soften cream cheese and butter before mixing.
- Flip halfway through cooking in air fryer for even browning.
