I first made this Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling Recipe 9 years ago and it was hit then just like it was a hit today. This is an absolutely delicious dessert and if you follow my instructions exactly you should have no problem at all recreating the same delicious results. I am going to be honest here, the pictures of a swirl make this look way more complicated than this actually is! If you can make cinnamon rolls then you can make this no problem! This might be even easier since you don’t have to make sure your dough proofs. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this and let me know how your Pumpkin Rolls turn out!
