Instructions

1. Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5-10 min until foamy.
2. Add egg, egg yolk, and melted butter, mix.
3. Stir in salt and flour.
4. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes.
6. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1 1/2 hrs or until doubled.
7. For the filling, mix the soft butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined/spreadable.
8. Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
9. Spread the filling evenly and scatter the crushed oreos on top (don't overstuff it).
10. I like to use a pizza cutter to first slice 8 pieces then roll them each up tightly. (Or you can tightly roll the whole thing then slice)
11. Place in greased 9x13 pan.
12. Cover and let rise 30-45 min.
13. Pour warm heavy cream over rolls right before baking.
14. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22-28 min until golden.
15. To make the icing, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Then beat in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla until well combined.
16. Spread over warm rolls. Top with more crushed oreos.
