Deliciously warm coffee cinnamon rolls topped with a creamy frosting, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coffee (brewed or instant)
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for caramel sauce)
  • 1/4 cup butter (for caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until warm. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients along with the egg.
  3. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl and allow it to rise for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle on brown sugar, cinnamon, and brewed coffee.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into even pieces.
  6. For the caramel sauce, melt brown sugar and butter in a saucepan until combined. Pour this into the bottom of a baking dish.
  7. Place the rolled pieces on top of the sauce and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. For the frosting, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and strong brewed coffee until smooth. Spread this over warm rolls just before serving.

Notes
