Why you will love this TikTok Thanksgiving Dessert.

Additionally, you can omit the spice (we do not recommend that) or alter it with other holiday spices like nutmeg.

Recommended Changes we would make to this TikTok recipe
think you need to add the seasoning to the pumpkin puree because it’s kind of a one-note recipe without that. I have reflected that in the recipe card.
That being said, I gave this pumpkin cinnamon roll treat to a friend, and her kids gobbled it up and loved it as-is. I only drizzled one packet of icing onto the final dish.
