## Tips

- If using active dry yeast, activate it in warm milk and sugar first.
- The bottom layer can be skipped if you don't want extra gooey rolls.
- Use any type of cocoa powder for the coffee filling.
- For a thinner icing, add a tablespoon or so of heavy cream.
- Ensure cinnamon rolls are mostly cooled before spreading icing to prevent melting.
