Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the instant dry yeast, warm water, and the dough's ube condensed coconut milk. Mix until combined.

2. 2

   Add the all-purpose flour and salt. Knead until the dough comes together.

3. 3

   Add the slightly melted vegan butter for the dough and knead again. Knead by hand for 15–20 minutes, or use a stand mixer on medium speed for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.

5. 5

   While the dough rises, prepare the icings. For the purple icing, combine the ube condensed milk and vegan butter in a small bowl. For the pink icing, combine the coconut condensed milk, vegan butter, and berry powder. For the blue icing, combine the coconut condensed milk, vegan butter, and spirulina powder.

6. 6

   Cook each icing mixture over low heat, stirring, until it comes together.

7. 7

   Cover the prepared icing and refrigerate it until needed.

8. 8

   Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and flatten it.

9. 9

   Mix the strawberry jam and ground cinnamon together. Spread the mixture evenly over the flattened dough.

10. 10

    Cut the dough into strips and roll each strip tightly.

11. 11

    Grease a baking pan. Arrange the rolls in the pan, cover, and let them rest for 10–15 minutes.

12. 12

    Bake at 175°C for 25 minutes.

13. 13

    Remove the pan from the oven and let the rolls sit for 10 minutes.

14. 14

    Pour the prepared icing over the rolls and spread it evenly.

Notes

The source does not specify the dough's first-rise duration, the number of rolls, or the amount/type of fat for greasing the pan. The icing wording may indicate preparing the chosen color or all three; amounts are listed separately for each color.
