minutesIngredients
- Dough
1 cup warm milk
2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup heavy cream
- Oreo Filling
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
15 Oreo cookies, blended to crumbs (remove creme filling and set aside)
- Frosting
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Filling of 20 Oreos, melted
2 tablespoons milk
5 Oreo cookies, blended to crumbs
Directions
- Making the Dough
- In a bowl, pour the yeast on top of the warm milk and mix. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Cube the butter and add it to the milk mixture along with the white sugar, and eggs. Mix well.
- Add in the salt and 4 cups flour to the bowl and mix everything until just combined. Then let the loose dough sit for 5 minutes so all of the flour can soak up the liquids.
- Once it has rested use a hook attachment in a mixer to beat and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Add the extra 1/2 cup of flour if the dough is still sticky.
- In a clean and oiled bowl place the kneaded dough into it and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Oreo Filling
- While the dough rises make the filling. In a bowl mix the brown sugar, oreo crumbs, which have been blended and separated from the creme filling, together.
- Then add the softened butter and vanilla extract and blend with a fork until a paste forms.
- Roll Out the Dough
- After the 30 minutes has passed, remove the dough from the oiled bowl and roll out into a large rectangle on a clean floured surface about half an inch thick.
- Spread the filling out evenly on the dough with a rubber spatula.
- Create a long log by tightly folding the dough and rolling together.
- Use a sharp knife or the string method to cut 8-12 cinnamon rolls out.
- Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased pan and cover with a damp towel and let rise again for 30 minutes until the rolls have doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls and then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned. Let them cool for a couple minutes
- Whip Up the Frosting
- While the rolls are baking, make the icing. In another mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and butter, blending together until creamy.
- Then add the powdered sugar and blend again until smooth.
- Heat the Oreo creme filling in the microwave until melted completely and add to the bowl along with the milk. Mix together until combined.
- Lastly, fold the Oreo crumbs into the frosting.
- Finishing Touches
- After you have let the rolls rest for a couple minutes outside of the oven, slather the Oreo frosting on top, coating every crevice of the rolls.
- Serve and enjoy with a tall glass of milk or your favorite drink!
