Description

Indulge in soft, pillowy rolls infused with the warm flavors of cinnamon and carrot cake, topped with a luscious cream cheese drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine warm milk and sugar in a mixing bowl; sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Whisk together the flour and salt in a separate large bowl.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg into the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough begins to form.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly distributed.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes until doubled in size.
  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Spread cream cheese across the surface, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
  10. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for the frosting until smooth.
  13. Drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls and serve.
