Part 18 of Make It Mini with @Bon__Abbetit: Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, using our new Pumpkin Mini Cocottes. 🎃 This recipe is a twist on a viral cinnamon roll hack that adds heavy cream to store-bought cinnamon rolls to make them extra light and fluffy. This version turns each roll into a pumpkin with a cinnamon stick stem, then each roll is topped with a spiced maple glaze – perfect for Halloween and all autumn long.

Pumpkin Mini Cocotte: https://bit.ly/3FAZMK4

Ingredients (for 4-6 rolls)
For the cinnamon rolls:
1 Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll tube
¼ cup heavy cream per cocotte
6 Tbsp salted butter
3 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cardamom 
½ tsp ground nutmeg 
Cooking spray 
Cooking twine

For the icing:
Icing from cinnamon roll tube
2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
2 tbsp maple syrup 
1 tsp cinnamon + more for topping
½ cinnamon stick per pumpkin

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Open your tin of cinnamon rolls. Separate out each roll. For extra large rolls, unravel 2 of the rolls and add them to the remaining 4 buns. Just continue the spiral until they fit nicely inside your mini. You don’t need to do this, entirely up to you. 

2. Using cooking twine, wrap and tie (similar to a present) each bun into the shape of a pumpkin. Using scissors, snip off the loose ends of the twine. Spray each mini with cooking spray and place the tied-up bun inside. Pour heavy cream around the outside of the bun. 

3. In a pan, melt butter, stirring constantly until it starts to bubble and caramelize. Once brown (about 5-8 min), turn heat to low and stir in spices and brown sugar. Once smooth and combined, remove from heat and drizzle overtop each bun.

4. Bake for 20-25 min with the tops on. Meanwhile, make your icing by whisking the tube icing with whipped cream cheese, maple syrup and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

5. When buns are done, remove from cocottes. Using scissors, snip the twine. Snap a cinnamon stick in half and add to the middle of each pumpkin. Top with the icing and dust with more cinnamon. Serve on their own or in the pumpkin mini. Enjoy!
