These Chocolate Brownie Cinnamon Rolls are the ultimate cinnamon roll glow up. Take your average fluffy cinnamon roll, add cocoa, pack them full of a chocolate butter mixture and bake up! Smother in a cream cheese frosting and top with extra brownies for something that really is a dream bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a fabulous brunch option and can be made ahead of time ready to bake and frost in the morning. Feel free to add more brownie pieces to the filling and go crazy with however much you want to add on top. Being a baker, I often have leftover brownies on hand. If you don’t, buy some pre-made brownies from the store! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If cream cheese frosting isn’t your thing, feel free to use a powdered sugar\/milk glaze. Simply combine about 1 cup of powdered sugar with a few teaspoons milk. Mix until it’s thick but just spreadable. The cream cheese cuts through the sweetness and richness but of course, do what works best for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIPS FOR MAKING GREAT CINNAMON ROLLS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making sweet rolls that are fluffy, soft, and full of flavor is so fulfilling. Whether you are a seasoned baker or trying your hand at this bake for the first time, these tips will help you create the perfect sweet roll every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Use Quality Ingredients<\/strong>
    Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Use active dry yeast or instant yeast that hasn’t expired. For flour, all-purpose or bread flour can give you the best texture. Don’t skimp on the lemon curd either.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Proof Your Yeast<\/strong>
    If using active dry yeast, make sure it’s alive and active by proofing it. Mix the yeast with warm water (around 110\u00b0F) and a pinch of sugar and wait for it to bubble. This will ensure that your rolls rise properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Opt for Full-Fat Dairy<\/strong>
    Full-fat milk, butter, and eggs will add richness and tenderness to your dough. The fat content is crucial for the texture of the cinnamon rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Don’t Rush the Dough<\/strong>
    Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment until it’s doubled in size. This might take about 1-2 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen. Be patient \u2013 it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Roll the Dough Evenly<\/strong>
    When rolling out the dough, aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform baking and spirals. Use a rolling pin and maybe a ruler to measure the thickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Slice with Dental Floss<\/strong> or Serrated Knife<\/strong>
    For clean cuts, use dental floss or a sharp serrated knife to slice the rolled dough. This prevents the rolls from being squashed and keeps their beautiful shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Don\u2019t Overcrowd the Pan<\/strong>
    Give your rolls enough space to expand. They should be close enough to support each other as they rise but not so close that they’re squeezed into each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Bake Until Golden Brown<\/strong>
    Keep an eye on the rolls as they bake and remove them from the oven once they’re just golden. Overbaking can lead to dry rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Let Them Cool Before Icing<\/strong>
    Wait for the rolls to cool slightly before adding icing. If they\u2019re too hot, the icing will melt and run off, whereas slightly cool rolls will allow the icing to set better on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Armed with these tips, you are on your way to creating stunning little sweet rolls that are going to light up your kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
