Soft, pillowy, and swirled with cozy magic, these cinnamon rolls are comfort baking at its finest. Each bite is layered with warm brown sugar, fragrant cinnamon, and an earthy adaptogenic boost from Happiness Powder and Chaga, giving this classic treat a feel-good twist. As they bake, a splash of cream melts into the dough, creating irresistibly gooey centers and golden, tender edges.
Finished with a silky cream cheese frosting that melts right into every swirl, these rolls are rich, nostalgic, and elevated. Perfect for slow mornings, special gatherings, or anytime you want your kitchen to smell absolutely incredible!
RECIPE
Prep time: 1 1⁄2 hours
Bake time: 20 minutes
Yield: ~6 rolls
Recipe by: Tracy Reith
Ingredients:
Dough:
- 1⁄2 cup warm milk of choice (105–110°F)
- 1 1⁄4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 2-2 1⁄4 cups flour
Filling:
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 Tbsp Happiness Powder
- 3 tsp Chaga powder
For Baking:
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄3 cup powdered sugar
- splash vanilla or maple extract
Instructions:
1. Make the dough: Mix warm milk and yeast. Add egg, butter, sugar, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic.
2. First rise: Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
3. Roll and fill: Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, Happiness Powder, and Chaga. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
4. Shape: Roll the dough tightly and cut into 6 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish or on parchment paper.
5. Second rise: Cover and let rise again for 20–30 minutes.
6. Bake: Warm the heavy cream slightly and pour over the rolls. Bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
7. Frost: Mix frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread over warm rolls for a melty finish, or let them cool slightly for a thicker frosting. Sprinkle Happiness Powder on top.
Notes:
- Dough should be soft and slightly sticky — avoid over-flouring
- The heavy cream creates an extra gooey texture
- Best enjoyed warm
