Cinnamon rolls with Vanilla-Cream-cheese frosting

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

aren't summer garden parties wonderful? And also, aren't cinnamon rolls wonderful? If you have answered both questions with "yes", then read on...
Some people might say "Aren't cinnamon rolls more some kind of a fall-thing?" My answer to that is no! I think, the taste of cinnamon is just to good to only use it in fall baking. It has something that makes a baked good taste even more delicious and it brings back the memory of grandmothers jummy cakes and cookies.

Cinnamon rolls on their own are already amazing but for a garden party I wanted them to be a little more fancy, yet outstanding delicious. The addition of lightly whipped cream cheese with some vanilla flavoring adds some creaminess to these classic cinnamon rolls and makes them taste scrumptious!

By adding an iced café latte on the side, these goodness covered cinnamon buns will be the hit at your next summer garden party. Trust me, I made them and everybody was indulging them. They are the softest cinnamon rolls I have ever made and the frosting is so creamy and delicious...A bite in your mouth is just so soft and fluffy - literally to die for!

Maybe, soon you'll have your in-laws staying at your house, so it might be a good idea to treat them with these outstanding buns for sunday brunch or you can make them for your kids as a breakfast treat on a special day. Honestly, there are no limits for these fluffy cinnamon rolls, you can make them for almost every occasion and the guests will always be impressed and thankful.

Ingredients for the dough:

2 eggs (room temperature)

50g melted butter

200ml warm milk 

500g all purpose flour 

100g sugar

42g of fresh yeast

a pinch of salt and cinnamon 

Ingredients for the filling: 

100g softened butter

200g sugar 

1 1/2 tbs cinnamon

Ingredients for the frosting:

500g cream-cheese

50g sugar 

2 tsp vanilla extract 

Preparation:

First of all, you are going to make the frosting. Just put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir with a hand mixer until its well combined and creamy. Now, cover with some saran wrap and place it in the fridge to set.
In a large bowl, mix the warm milk with a tsp of sugar and the yeast, stir it with a spoon and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Then, add melted butter, eggs and the sugar and stir until combined. Now add the flour and mix until combined. Now, knead the dough either with your heads or a mixer for about 4 minutes until it is very smooth and not too sticky.
Form a ball, place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel to let it sit and rise at a warm place for about two hours.

After that, you are now ready to roll out the dough until it is as thick as your thumb (about 1 cm). Then, spread the softened butter on top and sprinkle the mixture of sugar and cinnamon over it. Now, roll the dough tightly and then, cut it into 9 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish and bake them at 200° for 15 minutes.
When they come right out of the oven, get your frosting and spread it evenly on top.

And there you are, enjoy the best cinnamon rolls you have ever had!
