Indulge in Love: Valentine Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to shower your loved ones with sweetness and affection. And what better way to do that than with homemade Valentine Cinnamon Rolls? These delightful treats combine the warmth of cinnamon with a hint of romance through a charming heart shape and a touch of pink frosting, making them an irresistible addition to your day of love.

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Rolls:

• 1 cup warm milk
• 4 tablespoons raw honey
• 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup butter, softened and divided
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon

For the Frosting:

• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons powdered beetroot for color (or your favorite pink food coloring)
• Pink sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

Preparing the Cinnamon Rolls:

1. Prep the Baking Dish: Begin by spraying a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking oil to ensure your rolls don’t stick. Set it aside for later.

2. Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and honey. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, a sign that your yeast is activated.

3. Form the Dough: Melt 1/3 cup of butter and add it to the yeast mixture along with the eggs. Incorporate the salt and sugar, then gradually whisk in the flour. Continue whisking until the dough comes together, forming a sticky mound with no residue on the bowl’s walls.

4. Let it Rise: Lightly drizzle some oil in the mixing bowl, return the dough, and cover it. Let it rest in a warm space for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

5. Shape the Dough: Dust a flat surface with flour and shape the dough into a rectangle, rolling it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

6. Add the Filling: Spread ½ cup of softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough surface.

7. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly from both long edges toward the center until they meet. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

8. Form Heart Shapes: Pinch the bottom of each roll to form a heart shape and place them in the prepared baking dish, ensuring there’s space between each roll.

9. Second Rise: Cover the dish and let the rolls rise in a warm place for another hour until they double in size.

10. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and your kitchen smells like a bakery.

Preparing the Frosting:

1. While your rolls bake, mix the confectioner’s sugar, 3 tablespoons of butter, and the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add the vanilla extract and milk, blending until you achieve a creamy consistency.
3. Stir in powdered beetroot for that lovely pink hue. Adjust the color to your liking.

Decorating:

1. Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle them generously with the pink frosting while they’re still warm.
2. Finish with a sprinkle of pink sprinkles for a festive touch.

Enjoy and Share:

Serve these heartwarming cinnamon rolls to your loved ones and watch their faces light up with joy. Soft, sweet, and beautifully adorned, these rolls are a delightful way to express your love.
