Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowl
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 baking tray small
  • 1 parchment paper sheet
  • 1 whisk small
  • 1 knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry dough sheet
  • For the filling
  • ½ cup butter (vegan) melted
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • cups sugar brown
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar optional
  • For the glaze
  • ¾ cup cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup butter (vegan) melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tbsp honey
  • ¾ cups icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine the 2 tbsp cinnamon powder, ⅔ cups sugar , and 3 tbsp granulated sugar in one bowl using a small whisk. Set it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 200℃.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the package and gently roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s smooth.
  • Coat the puff pastry with ½ cup butter (vegan), melted. Make sure to lightly coat the dough before adding the filling.
  • Start by rolling both ends of the dough into a log. Use a knife to cut into small, bite-sized rolls
  • Line the parchment paper on the baking pan.
  • Transfer the mini rolls onto the parchment paper.
  • Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until brown.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the ¾ cup cream cheese, ½ cup butter (vegan) 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 ½ tbsp honey, and ¾ cups icing sugar.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over each one. If you’ve got extra icing left, it's fine. I always make a little more so I can go back and give each mini roll an extra touch.
  • Serve with ice cream or with extra cinnamon.
