Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- â…“ cup pistachio butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Warm the whole milk to about 110°F, sprinkle the yeast on top, and let it sit until frothy. Combine the egg, softened butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl, add the yeast mixture, then the flour, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the filling: Roll the risen dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick, spread pistachio butter over it, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Shape the cinnamon rolls: Roll the dough tightly, pinch edges to seal, cut into 1-2 inch pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the icing: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream in a bowl until smooth. Spread over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Check yeast freshness to ensure the dough rises well. Experiment with various fillings and icing flavors for a unique twist.
