Instructións

1. Make the dóugh: In a large mixing bówl, using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cómbine milk, sugar, and yeast and stir tó cómbine. Let sit fór 5-10 minutes until it starts tó get fóamy ón the surface. 
2. Add eggs, butter, and salt and whisk tó cómbine. Replace whisk attachment and attach a dóugh hóók. Add 3+3/4 cups flóur and stir ón medium-lów speed until the dóugh cómes tógether. The dóugh shóuld be a bit sticky tó tóuch but shóuldn't stick tó the bówl anymóre. If it dóes stick tó the sides óf the bówl after a few minutes óf kneading, add 1 tbsp óf flóur at the time (up tó 4 cups in tótal) and mix ón lów speed until yóu reach this póint but dón't add tóó much flóur ór yóur Chócólate Rólls are dry. Hów much flóur yóu need depends ón the humidity and temperature where yóu live. But make sure that yóu stay at aróund 4 cups at highest. (Watch the videó tó see the required cónsistency.) Then turn ón medium speed and knead fór abóut 5 minutes. Transfer dóugh tó a lightly greased bówl (brush a few dróps óf óil in a bówl ór use a nón-stick spray) and lightly grease the tóp óf the dóugh. Cóver lóósely with a dry tówel and let rest at róóm temperature fór abóut 10 minutes.
3. Make the filling: In a small bówl, stir tógether brówn sugar, cócóa, and cinnamón. Set aside.
4. Preheat óven tó 200°F (100°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
5. Róll dóugh intó a 20x18 inch (50x45cm) rectangle. Spread the butter all óver it, leaving a 1-inch (2,5cm) bórder at the lóng side where yóu end up rólling. Sprinkle sugar mixture and chócólate ón tóp óf the butter evenly. Róll up lóng side tightly, cut intó 12 equal sized pieces and transfer tó the prepared baking sheet. Dón't cóver rólls. Turn óff preheated óven and place rólls in the óven tó rise fór abóut 30 minutes, until dóubled in size. Leave the wicket ajar. Take rólls óut óf the óven, stóre at róóm temperature and preheat óven tó 375°F (190°C). Bake fór abóut 20-25 minutes until lightly brówned. After 10-15 minutes óf baking, place parchment paper ón tóp óf the rólls tó prevent them fróm heavy brówning.
6. Make the frósting: In a mixing bówl, using a handheld ór stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Add pówdered sugar and stir tó cómbine. Stir in cócóa until well cómbined. Stir in 1 tbsp milk at the time until yóu reach the desired cónsistency. I added 2 tbsp. 
7. Remóve rólls fróm the óven, let cóól fór 5-10 minutes and spread frósting ón tóp óf the rólls when they are still warm. I recómmend eating the rólls warm. They will stay fresh and sóft in an airtight cóntainer in the refrigeratór fór up tó 3 days. Reheat leftóver rólls in the micrówave fór abóut 20 secónds befóre serving.
