Description

A delightful twist on a classic treat featuring soft and fluffy rolls bursting with chocolatey goodness and topped with creamy vegan marshmallow frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/4 cup hot cocoa powder
  • 15 large vegan marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Combine the warm milk and melted butter in another bowl.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the egg and stir until combined.
  4. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30 minutes).
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, then spread softened butter and hot cocoa powder over it.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 2-inch pieces.
  8. Let the rolls rise again until puffy, about 20 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes.
  10. Melt the vegan marshmallows and combine with cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth for the frosting.
  11. Frost the warm rolls generously with the marshmallow frosting before serving.

Notes

Serve warm for the best experience. Great on their own or paired with hot cocoa or coffee.
