For the Dough:
1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon red food coloring (or more as needed)
For the Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
Add the sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and red food coloring to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed.
Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the Frosting:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Serve:
Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.
