Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it reaches 110°F. Sprinkle the active dry yeast into the milk and stir to combine. Let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and mix until clumpy. Pour in the yeast mixture and add the eggs, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling by beating together butter, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth. Fold in chopped chocolate.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread filling over it and roll tightly from one long side to the other. Slice into 12 pieces.
- Grease a baking pan and arrange rolls close together. Cover and let rise for about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and cream until smooth. Drizzle over rolls after cooling for 10 minutes.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Avoid overflouring to maintain a soft texture.
