Description

These delightful cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting are the perfect spooky treat for Halloween gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (warmed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the warmed milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Mix Everything Together: Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture, then gradually add the flour mixture. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it Rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, then spread softened butter on top. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
  6. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly, then cut it into 12 equal-sized rolls.
  7. Second Rise: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish and cover again. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Make the Frosting: Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if needed.
  10. Frost and Enjoy: Once the rolls are cooled slightly, slather them with the creamy icing to finish!

Notes

Consider using almond milk for a dairy-free option or coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
