Equipment
Ingredients
dough
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon full fat cottage cheese
filling
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
icing
- ⅓ cup cream cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons monk fruit or other powdered sugar*
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add cottage cheese to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt to a bowl. Mix together until combined. Fold in cottage cheese and knead until fully combined.
- Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board. Add dough and roll into a rectangle shape that is about ½ inch thick.
- Mix together filling ingredients in a bowl until a paste forms. Spread out filling on the dough rectangle.
- Slowly roll out rectangle starting with one of the shorter sides into a cylinder shape. Using a wet knife or a piece of string cut the dough into 6-7 rolls. I cut mine into 7 pieces but 6 would have been better.
- Add rolls to a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes until rolls are golden brown.
- Add all icing ingredients to a bowl and mix together until smooth.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool. Top with icing and dig in.
Notes
*You can use coconut sugar however this will make the icing brown.
