Chocolate Cheesecake Rolls
YumChocolate Cheesecake Rolls: Enjoy this version from now on !
We all love cheesecakes, right ? There are numerous recipes and versions for that beauty and it seemed natural to me to try to use the cheesecake filling for breakfast rolls.
Chocolate (cocoa) idea was born one weekend after the holidays: you know the feeling; you hope to find something to eat but different than what you just had during the holidays’ season, if possible. Cinnamon is all right but I really wanted a change. And, of course, to get maximum in minimum time. Well known ? So, if you already have the Crazy Dough in the fridge, it takes even less time to make the breakfast. If not, here is the video showing how to make it :
The detailed list of the ingredients follows below, just in case.
Honestly, it needed more than one try to have Chocolate Cheesecake Rolls the way I wanted them to be. When started to develop the idea I used 1/2 batch and it did not turn out good. Unfortunately I did not take the photos for you to see that the ratio between dough and filling is wrong.
So, I recommend to use ¼ batch and it gives the best ratio of dough and filling.
