Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl & stir until smooth.Lightly grease 9x13 pan w/ cooking spray.To shape buns:Gently deflate dough, roll and pat it into a 12 x 16" rectangle. Spread or pat filling over the dough (filling is sticky), leaving a 1" margin along one long edge. Roll the dough, turning it so seam is flat against the work surface.Use a serrated knife or dental floss to cut into 16 pieces, and place in prepared pan.Cover w/ plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight, or 8 - 16 hours. In the morning, remove from fridge and let sit at room temp. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake at 350 for 25-28 minutes. Remove from the oven, and carefully remove from pan. While they cool a bit, prepare the icing.To finish, beat sugar, vanilla, butter, salt, and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Spread icing onto lukewarm buns. Serve immediately.
