Description

Delightful rolls that combine chocolate, pecans, and cinnamon, perfect for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 packets Active Dry Yeast
  • 4 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Instant Coffee Granules
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Toasted Pecans
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and yeast with warm water. Let it sit until it foams.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, coffee granules, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, egg, vanilla, and butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Cover and let rise until doubled.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the filling butter on top and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and pecans.
  6. Roll the dough tightly and slice it into pieces. Place them in a buttered pan and let them rise again.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour heavy cream over the rolls.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Let them cool slightly before serving.
