How to Make Gooey S’mores Rolls

Ingredients:

1 cup Milk (lukewarm)
1/4 cup Water (lukewarm)
2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
3 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (divided)
1 tsp Salt
1/8 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/8 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/3 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
2 large Egg Whites (room temperature)
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/8 tsp Cream of Tartar
1/8 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (divided)

Directions:

Dough Preparation: In a bowl, mix the lukewarm milk, lukewarm water, and instant yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes. In another bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until it is smooth.
Filling Preparation: In a small bowl, mix together the heavy whipping cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs.
Assembly: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other. Cut the rolled dough into equal pieces.
Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for about 30 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Meringue Topping: In a bowl, beat the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix gently.
Finalizing Rolls: Once the rolls are done baking, spread the meringue topping over them. Return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes, until the meringue is lightly golden.

How to Serve Gooey S’mores Rolls

Serve the Gooey S’mores Rolls warm, fresh from the oven. They are delicious on their own but can also be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat. Enjoy them with friends and family!

How to Store Gooey S’mores Rolls

To store any leftover rolls, allow them to cool completely. Place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze the rolls. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before putting them in a freezer bag.

Tips to Make Gooey S’mores Rolls

Make sure your milk and water are lukewarm, not hot, as this helps the yeast activate better.
If you want a gooier center, feel free to add more chocolate chips to the filling.
You can substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free version of the heavy cream.

Variation

For a different twist, try adding peanut butter to the filling for a tasty change. Another option is using caramel sauce instead of chocolate chips for a sweet twist!
