Ingredients:
Dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk, warmed
1/2 cup ube puree
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup ube puree
Ube Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup ube puree
2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk (to adjust consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the warmed milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the ube puree, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, ube puree, and softened butter until well combined.
Assemble the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×24 inches).
Spread the ube filling evenly over the dough. Roll it tightly from the long side, sealing the edges.
Cut into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Bake the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Ube Frosting:
In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, ube puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, adjusting with milk to reach your desired consistency.
Frost and Serve:
Once the rolls are cool, spread the ube frosting generously over the top. Enjoy these delightful ube cinnamon rolls fresh for a taste of pure bliss! 💜
