Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls

I used to refuse to even try anything that had pumpkin in them. If you had shown me this recipe a few years ago I would not have even contemplated even trying it, but as I was looking through recipes for one to try this one sounded delicious and I couldn't wait to try it. The frosting was soooooo good and I tried the cinnamon rolls right after I cooked them, they were good but I think they were even better the next day. My only complaint is that the way they suggest putting the filling in the rolls makes it so that when you bite into it you can get way too much filling at one time, I would suggest rolling out the dough like you normally do with cinnamon rolls and spreading the filling out even across the dough.
