Mix warm milk and sugar in a bowl; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.

Roll the dough tightly into a log; slice into equal rolls, about 1-2 inches thick.

Place rolls in a greased baking dish; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

While baking, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.

Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over warm rolls before serving.
