# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 2½ cups all-purpose flour
02 - ¼ teaspoon salt
03 - 1 cup plant-based milk
04 - 3 tablespoons organic sugar
05 - ¼ cup vegetable oil
06 - 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

→ Chocolate Filling

07 - ⅓ cup coconut sugar
08 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 3 tablespoons coconut oil
10 - ¼ teaspoon sea salt
11 - ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze

12 - ⅓ cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 tablespoons mashed strawberries (about 2 big ones)
14 - ¼ cup plain vegan cream cheese

# Steps:

01 - Heat up non-dairy milk with sugar until it feels warm. Add yeast, stir, and wait 10 minutes, letting it foam up.
02 - In a mixer, combine salt and flour first. Pour in oil and yeast mix, then mix slow at first. Knead on medium for about 5-7 minutes until soft.
03 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it sit somewhere warm for around an hour, until it gets twice as big.
04 - Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil. Stir in the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and salt until blended and smooth.
05 - Roll the dough into a rectangular shape. Spread on the filling, roll it tightly, and cut it into 10 pieces using floss for a clean finish.
06 - Layer rolls in two 8-inch pans lined with parchment. Put in oven at 350°F for 35 minutes. Let them cool completely.
07 - Whisk powdered sugar with vegan cream cheese and strawberries. Adjust thickness if needed, then drizzle over cooled rolls.

# Notes:

01 - Tastes best eaten within 7 days
02 - Keep in a sealed container to stay fresh
03 - Dental floss works great for slicing clean pieces
