  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ? cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Medium saucepan
  • Baking Dish
  • Rolling Pin
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat milk, butter, and sugar until butter is melted and the temperature is 120?F-130?F. Remove from heat.
  2. In a bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together 4 ? cups flour, yeast, and salt. Add melted butter mixture and mashed bananas; stir to combine until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough with a dough hook attachment at medium speed for 6-8 minutes. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Lightly grease a large bowl, place dough inside, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 ? hours.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into an 18x12-inch rectangle.
  6. Spread the dough with softened butter, leaving about a ?-inch border at the top. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter and press down lightly. Place banana slices on top.
  7. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
  8. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and place the rolls spiral side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat oven to 350?F (177?C). Pour slightly warmed heavy cream over the rolls and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
  10. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium-high speed until smooth and combined.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Add vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until fluffy.
  12. Spread the cream cheese icing over the cinnamon rolls while they are still slightly warm.
