Ingredients

Scale
  • 100 g butter
  • 500 ml milk
  • 100 g white sugar
  • 7 g active dry yeast
  • 640 g all-purpose flour
  • 60 g dark cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 120 g cream cheese
  • 4 tbsp milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and stir in warm milk. Combine this mixture with white sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
  4. For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread butter curls on top, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
  6. Roll tightly into a log and slice into approximately 15 pieces; place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover rolls and let rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  8. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. For the frosting, beat cream cheese with milk until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder until combined.
  10. Drizzle frosting over warm rolls before serving.
