Brownie Batter Cinnamon Rolls 🍫✨ One of my new favorites 🤎 (recipe makes ~8 rolls) Dough: ¾ cup (180g) warm milk 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp/7g) ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temp ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted ~ 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour (only add more if needed) ¾ tsp salt + ⅓ cup (80g) warm heavy cream to pour over the rolls right before baking Brownie Batter Filling: 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted ⅔ cup (135g) brown sugar, packed 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp heavy cream 3 tbsp (18g) unsweetened cocoa powder ¼ tsp salt 2 tbsp (16g) flour + brownie bits/crumbles to sprinkle Icing: 6oz (170g) cream cheese, room temp ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, room temp 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar 2½-3 tbsp (~18g) cocoa powder (you can adjust to taste) ½ tsp vanilla Pinch of salt + brownie bits/crumbled up brownies for topping *I baked an 8x8 pan of brownies & used almost half as the brownie bits for this recipe. You can use a box mix! Instructions: Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5-10 min until foamy. Add egg, egg yolk, and melted butter, mix. Stir in salt and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 min. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1½ hrs or until doubled. For the filling, mix the melted butter and both sugars. Add the vanilla, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and salt until combined. Fold in flour. Let sit 5-10 minutes, it’ll thicken slightly. If it’s still too runny add ½ tbsp more flour. Roll dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the filling evenly all over and sprinkle crumbled up brownies on top (try not to overstuff it). I like to use a pizza cutter to first slice 8 pieces then roll them each up tightly. (Or you can tightly roll the whole thing then slice) Place in greased 9x13 pan. Cover & let rise 30-45 more min. Pour warm heavy cream over the rolls right before baking. Bake at 350°F for 22-28 min until golden. To make the icing, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Then, beat in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until fully combined. Spread over the warm rolls. Top with more brownie bits.
