Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 1/4 cup lukewarm water
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/8 tsp salt (for filling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/8 tsp salt (for meringue)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for meringue)
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, water, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until everything is well combined.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Roll Dough: Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
- Prepare Chocolate Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the unsweetened cocoa powder, heavy whipping cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt to form the chocolate filling.
- Spread and Sprinkle: Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Then, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the top.
- Form Rolls: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even pieces.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the sliced rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Make Meringue Topping: While the rolls bake, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Top and Bake Again: Once the rolls are golden, remove them from the oven and spread the meringue over the top. Return the rolls to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Notes
For best results, ensure the yeast is activated properly and do not rush the process. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
