These Vegan Coconut Cream Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful, plant-based twist on the classic treat, featuring rich coconut cream for added moisture and flavor. Below is a detailed recipe to guide you through making these soft, fluffy rolls.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1 cup (240 mL) almond milk, lukewarm
• 3/8 cup (75 g) white sugar
• 1 heaped tbsp (9 – 10 g) active dry yeast
• 3 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp (460 g) plain flour, divided
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup (75 g) coconut cream, melted

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• 2 – 3 tbsp (~40 g) coconut cream
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup (100 – 150 g) white sugar
• 1 – 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup (110 g) coconut cream
• 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

• In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm almond milk, sugar, and yeast. Whisk lightly until no clumps remain and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
• In a stand mixer bowl, mix the remaining flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead with a dough hook. Once combined but still slightly floury, add the melted coconut cream.
• Knead for at least 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Roll Out the Dough:

• After the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it into an approximately 18 x 9 inch rectangle.
• Spread 2 – 3 tbsp of coconut cream over the dough evenly.

Add Filling:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle this mixture over the coconut cream. Gently rub it in to ensure it sticks.
• Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.

Cut and Second Rise:

• Slice the rolled dough into approximately 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking pan, leaving space between each roll.
• Cover with a tea towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• Allow cooling slightly after baking.

Prepare Frosting:

• In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and coconut cream until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk to achieve desired consistency.

Serve:

• Drizzle the frosting over warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
