Ingredients
Steps
Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, and a portion of the sugar) in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add the wet ingredients (melted vegan butter and warm dairy-free milk/water) to the dry mixture.
Knead the dough by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it proof in a warm spot for about one hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Spread softened vegan butter over the dough, then sprinkle generously with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into individual rolls.
Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight to rise slowly.
In the morning, remove the rolls from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature while the oven preheats to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Just before baking, pour vegan heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak into the gaps.
Bake at 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) for approximately 30 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
While the rolls bake, whisk together vegan cream cheese and powdered sugar (adding a splash of dairy-free milk if needed) to create a silky icing.
Spread the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
Notes
These are 'Cinnabon-style' rolls where the addition of heavy cream before baking creates a very soft, gooey texture. Ensure your vegan butter is at room temperature for the filling so it spreads easily without tearing the dough.
