Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons traditional yeast
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Filling Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.33 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup vegan plain cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons strawberry puree
- 0.33 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast activation liquid by gently warming non-dairy milk with sugar until comfortably tepid. Incorporate yeast and allow to ferment for 10 minutes until a frothy layer develops.
- In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt. Pour in oil and the activated yeast mixture. Mix initially on low speed, then knead at medium speed for 5-7 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough emerges.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a draft-free warm environment for approximately 1 hour or until volume doubles.
- Create the chocolate filling by melting coconut oil and chocolate chips together. Whisk in coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until achieving a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Carefully roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape. Evenly spread the prepared chocolate mixture across the surface, then tightly roll from the long edge. Slice into 10 uniform sections using unflavored dental floss for clean cuts.
- Arrange rolls in two parchment-lined 8-inch baking pans. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes, monitoring until they turn a rich golden brown. Allow complete cooling before frosting.
- Craft the strawberry cream cheese glaze by blending vegan cream cheese with strawberry puree and powdered sugar until silky smooth. Adjust thickness as needed, then generously drizzle over cooled rolls.
Notes
- Use lukewarm milk for yeast activation to ensure proper rising and prevent killing the yeast with excessive heat.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten structure, creating softer and more elastic chocolate rolls.
- Roll dough on lightly floured surface to prevent sticking and maintain even thickness for uniform baking.
- Dental floss works perfectly for cutting rolls cleanly without squishing delicate dough edges.
- Allow rolls to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and ensure smooth glaze application.
- Adjust strawberry cream cheese frosting consistency by adding powdered sugar for thicker texture or milk for thinner drizzle.
- Store rolls in airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For gluten-free option, substitute wheat flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better texture.
