Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Warm 1 cup of whole milk to about 110°F, sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Add the yeast mixture, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs. Mix and knead until smooth.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Mix together ½ cup of softened butter, ½ cup of dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to form a smooth paste.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle of 14x18 inches and ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
  6. Spread the filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed Oreos on top.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and slice into 12 equal strips. Place them in a greased 9x13 inch pan, cut side up.
  8. Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise for again for 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over the rolls and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden.
  10. Combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth and fold in ½ cup crushed Oreos.
  11. After baking, let the rolls cool for about 5-10 minutes and drizzle the glaze over while warm.

Notes

For best results, use fresh yeast and ensure the milk is the right temperature to activate the yeast. Glaze the rolls while they're warm for better absorption.
