Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)
  • 12 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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 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.

  3. Create the Filling: Sprinkle a layer of chocolate cookie crumbs evenly over the dough rectangle. Reserve some crumbs for topping.

  4. 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.

  5. Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Prepare the Frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.

  7. 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.
