Brown Butter Vegan Pistachio Sweet Rolls

Cook time: 120 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast about 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup dairy-free milk
  • 0.25 cup dairy-free yogurt acts as egg replacement
  • 0.5 cup vegan white chocolate
  • 0.5 cup pistachio butter
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup vegan cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by mixing flour, brown sugar, instant yeast, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add warmed dairy-free milk and dairy-free yogurt to form a dough.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  3. Prepare the pistachio cream by melting vegan white chocolate and mixing it with pistachio butter until smooth.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the pistachio cream evenly across the surface. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Roll the dough starting from the longer side to form a log. Cut into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces and arrange them in a baking dish.
  6. Cover and let the rolls rise again until puffy. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last few minutes of rising.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Prepare the vegan cream cheese frosting by mixing vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of dairy-free milk. Spread generously over the warm rolls.
