Tips

  • If using active dry yeast, activate it in warm milk and sugar first before adding other ingredients.
  • The bottom layer of butter, brown sugar, white sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt makes the rolls extra gooey, but can be skipped.
  • Any type of cocoa powder can be used for the coffee filling.
  • Make sure the cinnamon rolls are mostly cooled before spreading the icing to prevent melting.
