Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1–2 teaspoons blue food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup chocolate cookie crumbs, divided
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, blue food coloring, and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic, and then roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface.
-
Create the Filling: Sprinkle a layer of chocolate cookie crumbs evenly over the dough rectangle. Reserve some crumbs for topping.
-
Roll and Cut: Tightly roll the dough from one long edge to the other to form a log. Cut the log into equal pieces, about 1-2 inches thick, and place them cut-side up in the prepared pan.
-
Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
-
Prepare the Frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
-
Assemble and Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate cookie crumbs over the frosting. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a chocolate ganache drizzle.
- Adjust food coloring to achieve the desired shade of blue.
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the dough smoothly.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother frosting.
