Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Filling and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Leavening and Frosting Ingredients:

  • 2.14 teaspoons traditional yeast
  • 1/4 cup vegan plain cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry puree
  • 1/3 cup icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by gently warming non-dairy milk with organic cane sugar to lukewarm temperature. Allow the mixture to foam and develop for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Combine all-purpose flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Incorporate vegetable oil and activated yeast mixture, kneading thoroughly until the dough becomes smooth and elastic in texture.
  3. Cover the prepared dough and permit it to rest and expand for 60 minutes, or until its volume doubles.
  4. Create the chocolate filling by melting coconut oil and chocolate chips together. Blend in coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt until completely integrated.
  5. Carefully stretch the dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring even thickness. Distribute the prepared chocolate filling uniformly across the entire surface.
  6. Tightly roll the dough from the longest edge, creating a compact cylinder. Slice the roll into 10 uniform segments and arrange them in a lightly greased baking pan.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 35 minutes, monitoring until they achieve a golden-brown coloration.
  8. Craft the strawberry frosting by blending vegan cream cheese with strawberry puree. Gradually incorporate icing sugar, adjusting the consistency with additional puree or non-dairy milk as needed.
  9. Allow the rolls to cool completely before generously spreading the strawberry cream cheese frosting across the top. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more intense filling flavor that elevates the entire roll.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother dough mixing and more consistent rising.
  • Proof yeast carefully by checking for active bubbling, which indicates healthy fermentation for perfect texture.
  • For gluten-free adaptation, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar structure and softness.
