Not many things in the world can match the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls wafting through the kitchen. But imagine this classic treat made even more unique and more decadent. Now we present Tiramisu Cinnamon Rolls, a charming combination of two much-loved desserts, combining the rich taste of tiramisu with the comforting warmth of cinnamon rolls. These sweet treats are perfect for breakfast, brunch or any other time you feel like enjoying a sweet treat.
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.
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.
Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and assemble the rolls the night before, then cover and refrigerate them. In the morning, allow them to come to room temperature and rise before baking.
Can I substitute mascarpone cheese with cream cheese?
While mascarpone cheese lends an authentic Tiramisu flavor, cream cheese can be used as a substitute if necessary.
