Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 -4 teaspoons cold buttermilk
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

To make the rolls: Preheat oven to 400
In a food processor, add cottage cheese, sugar, buttermilk, 4 tablespoons melted butter and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse just until the dough clumps together - don't let it form a ball. Scoop the mixture onto a floured surface and knead a couple times to smooth it out.
Roll the dough into a large 12" by 15" rectangle. Using a pastry brush, coat the top of the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides.
To make the filling: In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon - scatter over the melted butter and gently press down to adhere. Sprinkle coconut over the sugar mixture.
Carefully roll up the dough, starting at the long edge, in a jelly-roll fashion. Pinch seam to seal while leaving the ends open. Using a sharp knife or a piece of unflavored dental floss, cut roll into 12 equal portions. Place the rolls into a 9" x 9" baking pan coated with nonstick spray.
Bake until golden brown and firm - about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the rolls onto a wire rack so the tops are still right-side-up.
To make the icing: In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, 3 teaspoons buttermilk and vanilla until smooth and icing has a thick, pour-able consistency. Add a touch of milk at a time until it gets to this consistency. Drizzle icing over the rolls.

Tips:

Use fresh yeast for best results. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the dough. This will help create flaky layers in the rolls.
Roll the dough out evenly and tightly. If the dough is too loose, the rolls will not rise properly.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they are doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes.
Serve the rolls warm with your favorite frosting or glaze.

With their soft and fluffy dough, sweet and gooey filling, and creamy frosting, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
