Equipment
- 9x13" baking sheet
- Small rubber spatulas (2)
Ingredients
- 17.5 oz. Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls 1 can - Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls unroll easily, making it simple to shape a small piece of dough into each pumpkin stem
- 1 oz. white icing included with the cinnamon rolls - divided into two portions: ¼ and ¾ batches
- food coloring green, red, and yellow
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll the Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls onto the prepared baking pan. For each roll, tuck the last 2 inches inward to create the shape of a pumpkin stem.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions (for approx 25 minutes).
- While the rolls are baking, separate the icing into two small bowls. In one bowl, place about ¾ of the icing, and in the other bowl, reserve about ¼ of the icing.
- Add green food coloring to the smaller bowl of icing and mix until it turns completely green.
- With the remaining icing, add the yellow food coloring first, then add red a little at a time until you reach your desired shade of orange. You'll typically need more yellow than red. The exact amount will vary depending on whether you're using liquid or gel food coloring and how light or deep you want your orange to be.
- Set both the green and orange icing aside.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are finished baking, remove them from the oven.
- There's no need to let the rolls cool first. Ice them hot. Using a small rubber spatula, spread the orange icing over the round part of the cinnamon rolls to resemble pumpkins.
- With another small spatula, apply the green icing to the stems of the cinnamon rolls.
- Serve the pumpkin-shaped cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!
