Coffee Cardamom Rolls

Warm milk until temperature reaches 110ºF. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine milk, yeast, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir and let stand for 10 minutes. Once foamy, mix in eggs, melted butter, salt, instant coffee, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add flour and mix on a low speed for 5 minutes. Form dough into a ball and place into an oiled boil. Cover with plastic wrap and rest in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.

For the filling, in a small bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter, cardamon, and instant coffee; set aside.

Prepare a 13 x 9 inch pan or baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.

Roll dough into a large rectangle (approximately 12 x 22 inches). Once rolled out, evenly spread the filling mixture over the dough. Tightly roll up the dough to form a log. Cut into large equal portions using floss or pastry cutter and place into the 13 x 9 inch greased pan. Cover and let rise for approximately 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350º F. Bake rolls for 30–35 minutes.

Whip butter and cardamom and spread over warm rolls. Let cool for 10–15 minutes more before applying glaze.

For the glaze, in the bowl of your stand mixer, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, instant coffee, and vanilla. Whip together for 5 minutes or until everything is well incorporated.

Spread over the top of the warm coffee cinnamon rolls. Enjoy.
