Incredible Cinnamon Rolls

ADVERTISEMENT

These Incredible Cinnamon Rolls are my favorite cinnamon roll recipe! Soft and fluffy with a thick cinnamon filling and a light cream cheese glaze. So irresistible, soft and fluffy!

Ingredients

  • One package (2 & ¼ teaspoons) rapid rise yeast
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-6 cups all-purpose flour (you may not use all of it – see recipe for notes)
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces (1/2 pkg) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and warm milk, whisking to combine. Let set for 5 minutes, then add in the sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and two (2) cups of the flour. Mixture will be very sticky. Gradually add in the remaining flour, starting with ½ cup at a time and working until dough is ready. Dough will be ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and springs back lightly when touched with very minimal dough on your fingers. Mixture shouldn’t be super sticky. Add more flour as needed, knowing that you may need all of the flour or only some of the flour depending on the weather in your home.
  2. Knead the dough for about 4 minutes on a clean, flat work surface. Lightly oil a large bowl and add the dough ball to the bowl, turning to coat in the oil. Cover loosely with a tea towel and let rise, about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough, then roll out into a large rectangle on a flat work surface – anywhere around 11×8 to 13×9 should do the trick, with the long side facing you. You don’t want it to be too thin but not super thick, either. Spread the surface of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle liberally and evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Starting with the long side facing you, being rolling the dough tightly as you go until it forms into a log shape; pinch the ends to seal. Using a sharp serrated knife or some dental floss (my preferred method), cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. You may want to discard the end pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 13×9 rectangular baking pan. Cover loosely with a tea towel and rise for one hour in a warm place.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly golden brown and bubbly. While cinnamon rolls bake, make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Add in the confectioners’ sugar until a soft frosting comes together. Spread the frosting evenly over the hot cinnamon rolls.

RICE KRISPIE TREAT NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE — The possibilities are endless!! What a cool idea!!!

ADVERTISEMENT

Ingredients

FOR CRUST:
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
¼ cup salted butter
1 pkg miniature marshmallows
FOR FILLING:
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme/fluff
1 (8 oz) pkg Cool Whip, thawed
FOR GARNISH:
Whipped cream
Cubed & prepared Rice Krispy Treat Squares (I used the ones from the box)
Instructions
Liberally grease a 9″ or 10″ springform pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Set aside momentarily. In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter and marshmallows together over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and toss until totally combined. Pour the cereal into the prepared pan and, using a greased glass cup, press the cereal mixture into the pan, forming a base and sides. Put aside to set, about 20 minutes.
While crust sets, make your filling. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the marshmallow creme until smooth. Lastly, fold in the Cool Whip by hand until combined.
Spread the filling mixture into the crust, smoothing out the top. Garnish with whipped cream piped along the perimeter of the cheesecake and top with stacked prepared & cubed Rice Krispy Treats in the center. Chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge before cutting into slices.

Cheeseburger Eggrolls

ADVERTISEMENT

Ingredients :

ground beef
bacon
shredded cheese
eggroll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying (optional)

Directions :

Brown your ground beef and season it like you would do a hamburger. I seasoned mine with Creole seasoning, a few dashes of worcestershire sauce. After done, I drained the grease and then added in bacon that I had already prepared and chopped into pieces. Wet your eggroll wrapper and place it in front of you so it looks like a diamond rather than a square ( I took this photo before I corrected it) You want the filling to go straight from corner to corner. Fill with ground beef and bacon mix and top with a nice heap of shredded cheese. Roll by taking the bottom corner and tucking it under the filling. Then bring in both sides and continue to roll.

*Your wrapper needs to be wet so it will stick and not come apart when cooking. I deep fried mine for added crispiness but you can place in the oven at 325 until brown.
