Is there anything more delicious than freshly baked cinnamon rolls? Hardly, if you ask us! To ensure that your rolls turn out just as tasty, we have a few tips down below that you can have a look at before you start baking.
To get that perfect rise in your cinnamon rolls, it is important to activate the yeast. Warm the milk until it feels lukewarm, about 40–43 °C, before adding the yeast. This helps wake up the yeast, allowing the cinnamon rolls to rise beautifully. If the milk is too warm, it can prevent the dough from rising properly.
If you want to save time, you can prepare the dough in advance and let it rise in the fridge overnight. This firm dough is easier to roll and shape, and it develops richer flavours. Remember to cover the dough tightly with cling film to prevent it from drying out. After resting overnight, bring the dough to room temperature for about an hour before making the cinnamon rolls. That way, they will rise and bake evenly, giving you fluffy, flavourful cinnamon rolls for you to enjoy.
Baking a big batch of homemade cinnamon rolls for the whole family is a pleasure unlike any other. Cinnamon rolls are known for their fluffy dough, cinnamon sugar filling, and generous layers of rich frosting. Our recipe uses cream cheese in both the filling and the frosting, making them extra decadent and indulgent. They are perfect for relaxed mornings, special occasions, or when you crave a sweet treat. So, gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and prepare to bake something truly scrumptious.
When you take a bite of these cinnamon rolls, one of the first things you will notice is their dreamlike, fluffy texture. And it is all thanks to a few simple but well-picked ingredients. The dough is made with milk, yeast, egg, sugar, and flour. The addition of cardamom infuses it with a hint of sweetness and subtle spice. As the dough rises, it develops a soft, pillowy texture that is just waiting to be spread with a sweet cinnamon filling.
The filling is undoubtedly one of the best things about our cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. It fulfils every dessert fantasy, offering a cinnamon-kissed embrace that will leave your taste buds swooning. It combines the bold warmth of cinnamon with the silky smoothness of cream cheese. And just when you think it cannot get any better, in come the almond flakes, adding a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft, tender dough. As the rolls bake in the oven, they fill your kitchen with warm, comforting scents, preparing you for the treat to come.
Our cinnamon rolls are an unforgettable addition to your collection of sweets. Invite friends or family over for a delightful afternoon snack. Serve the rolls with a strong cup of coffee that complements the sweetness or a glass of cold milk that pairs wonderfully with the warm cinnamon and cardamom spices. These homemade delights are the perfect treat for the whole family.

You can experiment with various flavours in the cream cheese frosting. Consider adding a drizzle of maple syrup to impart a taste reminiscent of autumn. Alternatively, incorporate espresso powder for a robust coffee aroma, or use browned and cooled butter to introduce a nutty undertone. For a personalised touch, consider sprinkling a bit of nutmeg or cardamom alongside the cinnamon. If you fancy more variety, consider adding chopped nuts or plump raisins for added texture.
