InstructionsHeat the milk, oil and sugar in a deep pot. We want it lukewarm basically at the appropriate temperature where yeast can thrive.If it feels too hot let it cool down a bit and make sure it's not too cold either.Add yeast and stir and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until you start to see bubbles forming on the surface.Add 2 cups flour and stir until mixed. Cover and let it sit in a warm place for around an hour until it doubles.Once double its size, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and ¼ cup flour and stir to combine it thoroughly.Now you are ready to shape or if you want you can cover it tighlty and refrigerate for future use.Divide the dough into two parts and roll out the first ball of dough into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle.Add half of the melted butter and spread it all over. Sprinkle half of the sugar and half of the cinnamon powder and use your hands to make sure its all spread evenly. Now evenly distribute half of the chocolate chips. Now start rolling from the short side opposite to you and roll it into a tight roll towards you. You should have a tight thick roll filled with butter, sugar, chocolate and cinnamon mixture.Cut the rolls into about ½" size using a knife.Preheat oven to 375F.Take a baking pan or pie pan and grease it with oil or butter. Lay the rolls side by side and cover and let them rise second time for good 20-25 minutes. Transfer them to oven and bake for around 15-18 mins or until golden brown but make sure you don't want them to get too browned too!While rolls are baking make the glaze with mixing all the ingredients . Taste and adjust the sweetness and consistency as per your liking. As soon you pull the rolls out of the oven, drizzle with cream cheese glaze and using a spoon spread to the glaze around so it seeps in all the nooks and crannies.
