Ingredients

Yields 20 servings
Dough
  • 1 c. warm milk
  • 1 packet yeast
  • 2 Tbsp. Firebee Cinnamon Honey
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 c. flour
Filling
  • 1/4 c. butter, melted
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Glaze
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 c. butter, softened
  • 1 - 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 - 2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions

Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast, Firebee Raw Honey, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in the flour and turn the dough hook on low. 

Step 2

Once the flour starts to mix in, go ahead and turn it up to medium speed. Add more flour if needed until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. You want the dough to be sticky, but not stick to your fingers. 

Step 3

Transfer your dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a warm area and allow it to rise for about an hour, or until roughly doubled in size.

Step 4

Once the dough has risen, split it in half. Each half will need to be rolled out and shaped into a heart. You can use your hands to create the shape. They should be fairly equal in size and shape. Place one heart on a parchment lined pan.

Step 5

Mix together the ingredients for the filling and spread it on top of the first heart. Top with the second heart. In the center, using a knife, lightly trace a heart shape. This will provide you with a guide for cutting the strips.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, cut strips around the edges of the inner heart, cutting through both layers of dough. Once you have cut your strips, go back and twist each one.

Step 7

Allow the heart to rise a second time for about 30 minutes. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Bake the heart for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. 

Step 8

Mix up the frosting to your desired consistency. When the rolls are done, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before adding the frosting.  

Step 9

Drizzle the heart with frosting and add sprinkles if desired. To serve, tear off pieces and dip in any remaining frosting.
