Irresistible Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Start by activating the yeast in warm plant-based milk mixed with a pinch of granulated sugar. Once it’s foamy, combine with flour, melted plant-based butter, and remaining sugar to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Knead for about 10 minutes until elastic, then let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 2: Roll Out and Add Filling

Once risen, roll the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread a generous layer of Biscoff spread evenly across the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and, if using, finely chopped smoked turkey bacon or smoked turkey slices for an extra savory contrast.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a tight log. Slice into even rolls about 1.5 inches thick. Arrange the rolls snugly in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again until puffed up, around 30 minutes.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Avoid opening the oven during the first 20 minutes to maintain an even rise.

Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

While the rolls bake, whip together softened plant-based cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and a small amount of natural gelling agent. Mix until smooth and creamy for easy spreading.

Step 6: Frost and Serve

Once the rolls have cooled slightly, generously slather the cream cheese frosting over them while still warm, allowing it to melt slightly into every crevice. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Pro Tips for Making Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Use room temperature ingredients: They combine better creating a smooth, pliable dough.
Don’t rush the rises: Proper fermentation creates superior fluffiness and flavor.
Roll tightly but gently: Keeps the swirl neat and helps the filling stick inside.
Apply frosting while warm: This helps it melt into the rolls for extra indulgence.
Store leftovers properly: Keeps your rolls fresh and soft for days.

How to Serve Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Garnishes

Enhance the visual appeal and flavor by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies or toasted pecans on top of your frosted cinnamon rolls. A light dusting of cinnamon (natural) powder can also add a cozy finishing touch.

Side Dishes

Pair these rolls with steaming cups of chai tea or freshly brewed black coffee for a perfect balance of sweet and warm in every bite. Fresh fruit salad is a refreshing choice to cut through the richness.

Creative Ways to Present

Serve your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting on a rustic wooden board or colorful platters to brighten up any brunch table. Offering small portions with dipping sauces like plant-based caramel or apple compote can add a fun twist.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To preserve moisture, wrap loosely with parchment paper before sealing or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezing

You can freeze unbaked rolls after shaping, covered tightly in plastic wrap and placed inside a freezer bag. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge and let rise before baking. Frosted rolls can also be frozen but require thawing in the fridge.

Reheating

Warm refrigerated or frozen cinnamon rolls in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 10 minutes to restore softness. Avoid microwaving as it tends to dry the dough. Reapply frosting if needed for that fresh taste sensation.

FAQs

Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe?

Yes, a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend can be used, but results may vary slightly in texture. Adjust liquids and rising times accordingly.

Is it possible to make these rolls sugar-free?

Absolutely! Swap granulated sugar with natural sweeteners like coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener, keeping in mind it may alter rise and browning slightly.

How long can I store the rolls with frosting?

With the frosting applied, consume within 2 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature or up to 4 days refrigerated.

Can I prepare the dough the night before?

Yes, after kneading, refrigerate the dough overnight, allowing a slow rise. Bring it to room temperature before rolling and filling.

Do I have to use Biscoff spread specifically?

While Biscoff spread adds a signature flavor, you can experiment with other spiced cookie or caramel spreads for a different twist.
