Method

For the Cinnamon Roll Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of warm milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and remaining flour gradually, mixing until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Shape the Rolls

    Once risen, roll the dough out into a rectangle (about 16x24 inches). Spread melted butter over the surface and sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.

  5. 5

    Roll and Cut

    Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. 7

    Mix Frosting Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.

  2. 8

    Frost the Rolls

    Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.

For the Sundae Assembly

  1. 9

    Scoop Ice Cream

    In serving bowls, place 1 cup of vanilla ice cream.

  2. 10

    Add Cinnamon Roll

    Cut one cinnamon roll into pieces and place it on top of the ice cream.

  3. 11

    Drizzle with Sauce

    Drizzle caramel sauce over the cinnamon roll pieces and ice cream.

  4. 12

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts and a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top.
