Ingredients for Tiramisu Cinnamon Rolls

Buttermilk

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can create a substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for a few minutes until it curdles slightly.

Espresso

If you prefer a milder coffee flavor, you can use brewed coffee or even instant coffee granules dissolved in water as a substitute.

Sugar

While granulated sugar is typically used in this recipe, you can experiment with alternatives like brown sugar or coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor profile.

Active Dry Yeast

If you don’t have active dry yeast, you can use instant yeast as a substitute, but be mindful of any adjustments needed in rising times.

Eggs

If you have an egg allergy or prefer not to use eggs, you can try using a commercial egg replacer or a mixture of water, oil, and baking powder as a substitute.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract is the most common option, you can also experiment with other flavorings like almond extract or rum extract for a different twist.

How to Store Leftovers

If you can resist eating all these treats in one go, don’t worry! Simply refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or reheat in the oven until fully heated through.

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine espresso with buttermilk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add in yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add flour, 4 ½ tablespoons of sugar, salt and gently mix. Add in butter, one cube at a time. Then knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Cover and let rise for 2 hours in a warm area. Once risen, roll out on a flour-dusted surface to about a 14×14 square.
  • In a bowl, combine melted butter and Kahlua and brush over the dough. Using half of the mascarpone, add dollops on the dough. Then top with cinnamon and remaining sugar.
  • Roll up the dough and use a knife or string to cut 1-inch rounds. Grease an oven-safe pan or skillet and place rounds into the pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush rolls with remaining butter and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
  • As the cinnamon rolls bake, use an electric mixer to whisk together the remaining mascarpone, Kahlua, powdered sugar and cream until smooth and thick.
  • Top finished cinnamon rolls with frosting and dust lightly with cocoa powder.
